  • ASCA ASTANA WORKSHOP 2024 has ended in Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan
Through the 3-day event, participants obtained valuable skills in single-cell analysis by taking part in practices and master-classes: 

  • RWD Life Science sample preparation

  • SeekGene single cell RNA library preparation

  • 10x Genomics single cell RNA library preparation

  • MobiDrop single cell RNA library preparation

  • Bio-Rad Digital PCR & ATILA Biosystems

  • Oxford Nanopore DNA sequencing


More than 70 researchers joined the Workshop. Leading scientists from Russia, Kazakhstan, China, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Belgium, and other countries shared experience with participants at the round table "Experience in Single-Cell Analysis".

Evgeny Denisov, Head of Laboratory of Cancer Progression Biology, Cancer Research Institute, Tomsk NRMC, Head of Single Cell Biology Laboratory, RUDN University: "Participation in the Workshop, which is free for young researchers, allows developing key competencies and establishing important contacts in the professional community".

  • Single cell analysis is a key to understanding cellular processes and mechanisms of diseases. Single cell techniques allow analyzing molecular features of tissues and organs such as gene mutations, expression, methylation, etc. with the resolution at each single cell.  In the future, the development of this priority field of biomedicine would improve the efficiency of personalized therapy for various diseases and reduce their medical and social burden.
