The ISCO conference is co-organized by leading centres for genomic and biomedical research in Berlin and Barcelona and brings together young single cell researchers from different disciplines to enable scientific exchange and foster new international collaborations. Topics are innovations in single-cell and spatially-resolved technologies, new computational approaches and applications in the medical arena. ISCO puts special emphasis on providing networking opportunities for PhD students and postdocs, with a large number of talks from selected abstract, a poster session and a proper party.
