Systems Analysis of Single Stem Cells
Principal investigator: Fabio Rossi, Professor in the Department of Medical Genetics, $3 million
New infrastructure enabled by this grant will enable the UBC research team to apply the expanding power of genomics, proteomics and live-cell imaging to thousands of single cells at once, leading to an improved capability to predict drug responses and make personalized medicine a success. More immediate economic benefits are expected from the commercialization of new devices and reagents fuelled by the global expansion of this area of research.
