On Friday, October 20, 2023, some 60 alumni, current faculty and students gathered in Holmes Hall for the Ludmer Centre鈥檚 Masterclass on the potential of single-cell genomics. Hosted by Lesley Fellows, MDCM, DPhil, Vice-Principal (Health Affairs) and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at 不良研究所, the session included talks by Patricia Pelufo Silveira, MD, PhD, Director of the Ludmer Centre鈥檚 Epigenetics and Functional Genomics research theme, and Corina Nagy, PhD, Principal Investigator at the Ludmer Centre.
Prof. Nagy's presentation provided an insight into how the single-cell genomic resolution can help guide more curated treatments to different patient populations. Dr. Silveira clarified how this technology can help physicians and pediatricians with early diagnosis, as well as the need for early intervention in infants and toddlers.
