Genomics Lite: Genomic cartography - Generating a human cell atlas

Our guest speakers for our March Genomics Lite were Dr. Elena Winheim and Feri Torabi, Postdoctoral Researcher and a Advanced Research Assistant respectively, at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. In this Genomics Lite session, Elena and Feri spoke about how they are working on creating an atlas of the cells in the human body, helping us to understand cell development, treat different diseases, as well as preventative medicine. They also provided a real life example by looking at how this is being done with skin cells and what the research could lead to.
