On the morning of March 30th, Professor Yang Chaoyong from Xiamen University visited Polyseq Biotechnology at the invitation of Dr. Huang Yihua, the chairman of the company, and delivered an academic report titled "Single Cell Spatiotemporal Sequencing". The report was chaired by Dr. Lou Jizhong, the chief scientist of the company.
Professor Yang Chaoyong's team has long been engaged in research on new methods of in vitro diagnostics, innovative instruments, the application of microfluidic technology in biomedical fields, single-cell analysis, and other areas, and has achieved a series of original results. Professor Yang highlighted in his report the pioneering work of his research group in single-cell omics sequencing based on digital microfluidics technology in recent years. The research covers the clever design of digital microfluidics, efficient single-cell capture, single-cell gene sequencing, single-cell multi omics sequencing, single-cell time-resolved sequencing, and single-cell spatially resolved sequencing. In the report, Professor Yang vividly shared with everyone the development of single-cell sequencing chips, innovation in sequencing methods, development of bioinformatics algorithms, and some of the latest developments in medical applications. After the report, the company's R&D team had in-depth discussions and exchanges with Professor Yang Chaoyong, and this report benefited colleagues greatly. Finally, Researcher Lou Jizhong summarized the exchange and expressed gratitude to Professor Yang for his visit. He looks forward to deepening cooperation with Professor Yang's team in the integration of digital microfluidics and nanopore sequencing technology.
