A piece of state-of-the-art laboratory equipment whirs into action. It鈥檚 the sound of discovery happening in real time at 黑料吃瓜资源 (CSHL). CSHL鈥檚 Core Facilities are a driving force behind the Laboratory鈥檚 leading-edge cancer research. One facility at the center of numerous groundbreaking studies is the Single-Cell Biology Core.
Organs like the brain and heart are made up of billions of cells living and working together like a molecular 鈥渆cosystem.鈥� Studying each individual cell is vital to understanding organ function and the origins of disease. Over the last decade, the single-cell field has rapidly grown in popularity. However, isolating and analyzing one cell out of billions remains a complicated puzzle. That鈥檚 where CSHL鈥檚 Single-Cell Biology Core comes into play. Part of the CSHL Cancer Center, this Shared Resource provides the expertise and technology scientists need to complete challenging experiments in single-cell biology.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a way of singling one voice out of the choir,鈥� says Jonathan Preall, the founder and head of CSHL鈥檚 Single-Cell Core. 鈥淎nd that might be an actionable insight that would’ve been lost in the mix if you were to look at everything all at once.鈥�
In this video, you鈥檒l meet Preall as he works in the Single-Cell Biology Core. You鈥檒l learn about the services this Shared Resource provides and their potential lab and clinical applications. You鈥檒l also get a tour of the facility and a sneak peek at its newest piece of high-tech equipment. Press play to come with us as we go inside CSHL鈥檚 Single-Cell Biology Facility.
