NERLSCD 2022

Northeast Regional Laboratory Staff and Core Directors Annual Meeting

Dr. Christopher Hemme attended the Northeast Regional Laboratory Staff and Core Directors (NERLSCD) Annual Meeting in October 2022. The NERLSCD meeting is an opportunity for core leaders and staff to network, meet with vendors, and get updated on new technologies and best practices in biological data science.  The consensus among the core leaders is that biomedical data science has reached an inflection point in the adoption of new single-cell and spatial technologies.  While bulk omics methods such as RNA-seq are not going away any time soon, the field is rapidly moving towards a new paradigm of single-cell resolution spatial multiomics methods, often employing cloud computing and machine learning algorithms.
