  • Ep. 19. The HIVE CLX Solution: Any Cell. Any Where. Any Time
    Hi there,

    In this episode I have a special guest, Irene Whitney the senior director of commercial strategy from Honeycomb Biotechnologies. We talk about their unique single-cell technology, the HIVE single-cell solution that allows us to study any cell, anywhere, and anytime.

    She also updates me about the new versions of the HIVE system, the HIVE CLX, explaining how it works and most important, the benefits of using this technology in single-cell research compared to traditional single-cell methods.

    Join me for this exciting episode as I explore the cutting-edge world of single-cell technology with Irene Whitney from Honeycomb Biotechnologies.

  • Ep. 18: Pooling or Multiplexing Samples?
    Hi there,

    In this podcast episode, I will tell you the difference between pooling or multiplexing samples for a single-cell experiment. I will also explain the type of tags that we can use to multiplex samples: genotype, antibodies or lipids. Finaly I will let know about the benefits of using this strategies, like single-cell cost reduction.


    Here are the links for the products I mention at this episode:
    • Genotyping (SNP) Arrays Examples: Illumina ; ThermoFisher

    • Biolegend Antibodies & single-cell experiments

    • Lipid Tags: Multi-seq (Sigma)

  • Ep15: Single-Cell DNA Sequencing Methods: an overview
    Hi there,

    In this podcast episode, I will be talking about single-cell DNA. DNA is the information necessary to build our bodies. Alterations in DNA can cause changes in cell behavior, leading to diseases.

    To study DNA at the single-cell level, we can use diferent protocols. Some examples are the whole-genome or the targeted approaches, the scATAC-seq or the scDNA methulation protocols.

    Several commercial solutions are available and I will also mention them.

    Listen now!
    Cheers,
    Cátia

  • Ep. 13: Working With Nuclei
    Hi there!

    In this episode I talk with Dr. Luciano Martelotto, an expert on single-nuclei experiments. When we cannot isolate happy cells for our experiments, nuclei are the next option that we have. Listen now to learn more about this topic.

    Who is Dr. Luciano Martelotto?

    He is A/Professor at the Head of the Development Laboratory of the Adelaide Centre for Epigenetics (ACE), South Australia ImmunoGENomics Cancer Institute (SAIGENCI). Prior to joining ACE/SAIGENCI, he was the Scientific Director of the Single Cell Laboratory at Harvard Medical School, Department of Systems Biology, Harvard University (USA). During his role at the Single Cell Lab at HMS he led a team of technology specialists in charge of developing, implementing, and offering methods of single-cell profiling to build a bridge between researchers and single-cell technologies in their quest to understand how cells collectively perform systems-level functions in healthy and diseased states.He is also a Technology Advisor for multiple companies including Omniscope, Paragon Genomics, Honeycomb Bio, ArgeTAG, Truckee Applied Genomics and South Australian Genomics Centre.

    Luciano has a robust interdisciplinary scientific background, specialising in molecular biology and biochemistry with a strong background in technology and engineering. He is originally a cell and molecular biologist with a degree in Biotechnology, a PhD in Biological Sciences and Post-doctoral training in cancer genomics and single cell sequencing technologies. His diverse scientific background stems from working in a wide range of fields – plants genetics, microbiology, cancer biology and genomics – and has shaped my ambition and capacity to learn, create, develop, and apply technologies that cross multiple disciplines. The common thread woven throughout his career path has been the focus on converging ideas from various sciences and taking this ideology to develop or refine approaches to address challenges in real life settings and ultimately contribute to improving lives through technological advancements.
