Parse Bioscience – Scalable Single Cell Sequencing
Is it possible to do single cell sequencing without breaking the bank? Parse Biosciences thinks that they have a solution. Single cell RNA-Seq has become a required tool in today’s genomics research. In this hybrid seminar, co-hosted with the MSU Flow Cytometry Core and the MSU Genomics Core, Parse Biosciences introduces their Evercode technology, which enables scalable single cell transcriptomics without additional…
ThinkCyte- VisionSort Overview (Michigan State)
This is the year for imaging-based cytometry, and researchers around the world are using AI and morphological features to make ground breaking discoveries. At the forefront of this movement is the ThinkCyte VisionSort, a microfluidics-based cell sorter that uses “Ghost Cytometry” to make us question “Do we even need fluorophores anymore?”. Below is a short list of how other researchers are using…
MSU Research Featured at 2023 – Frontiers in Flow Cytometry
Exploiting Autofluorescence and Imaging Flow Cytometry to Quantitatively Phenotype Morphologically Diverse Pathogen Populations Understanding variation in pathogen virulence is a central goal of evolutionary medicine. In the shape-shifting bacterial pathogen, Pasteuria ramosa, virulence is thought to be mediated by specific bacterial morphotype(s). Accordingly, variation in the virulence of Pasteuria infections arises from variation in the absolute/relative abundance of virulence-inducing morphotypes in Pasteuria populations. Hitherto, testing…
Daniel Vocelle Named “Emerging Leader” in the Field of Flow Cytometry
By Chuck Carlson Pharmacology & Toxicology Assistant Professor Daniel Vocelle was recently selected as one of four “Emerging Leaders” by the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry Shared Resource Laboratory. It’s a big deal and an important honor not only for Vocelle, but for the Michigan State University Flow Cytometry Core Facility, where he is the assistant director working with Core director…
