The Integrative Cell Signalling group at the LCSB investigates changes of cellular heterogeneity in health and disease at single cell resolution. In diverse projects including cell differentiation, cancer heterogeneity and brain chraracterization, we develop and apply single cell RNA sequencing (sc-RNAseq) methods such as Drop-seq, CITE-seq, ATAC-seq, Fluidigm C1, InDrop or SPLiT-seq.
The recent technology of single cell transcriptomics and epigenomics allows for in depth characterization of cellular states. Investigating tissue heterogeneity at single cell resolution gives new insights into underlying disease mechanisms and is able to identify driving cellular subpopulations . Combining scRNA-seq technology with membrane-associated protein tagging (CITE-seq) can give additional layer of information in understanding mRNA-protein relationship on a temporal scale. In addition, single cell chromatin accessibility technology (ATAC-seq) allows for identification and profiling of distinct regulatory modules across different cell types within heterogeneous samples. At the LCSB, we provide access to these techniques by customized and commercial pipelines and develop targeted bioinformatics analysis methods to integrate the high-dimensional data.
