Practical and theoretical considerations using digital sequencing in liquid biopsy analysis (SiMSen-seq)
May 29, 2024 @ 15:00 – 16:00 CEST
SiMSen-Seq is a core techonology that offers digital resolution with close to error-free sequencing and minimal quantification biases. This approach is flexible and easy to adapt to a wide range of applications, such as detection of circulating tumor-DNA in essentially any tumor entity, immune repertoire profiling, and detection of environmental DNA.
The technology was invented by Prof. Anders Ståhlberg in collaboration with Tony Godfrey, Boston University (Ståhlberg et al., Nat Protocol 2017: PMID: 28253235) and until now it has only been provided to selected research collaborators. To be able to offer this state-of-the-art technique nationwide and facilitate its introduction into healthcare we are now integrating SiMSen-Seq as a research service into the SciLifeLab Clinical Genomics plafform.
Before the seminar, there will be a mingling session with coffee and cake served in the Academicum foyer, outside the lecture hall, between 14:30-15:00.
