OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
DEPArray™ is the only sorting technology capable of isolating, through a semiconductor controlled microfluidic chip, 100% pure single or pooled cells. Single Circulating Tumor Cells can be isolated from enriched blood, pools of pure Tumor, EMT, TILs and Stromal cells can be isolated from disaggregated FFPE tissue blocks, as well as live cells can be isolated from fresh tumor tissue.
NGS Results show how interpretation of underlying genetic alterations becomes far clearer on samples transformed into collections of pure or single cells, not only improving the detection of Somatic Mutations, but enabling highly informative Copy Number Aberration analysis on the pure cell populations.
During the seminar we will present the principles of operation of the technology, testing and validation of the accuracy of the method with NGS panels and Whole Exome Sequencing, applications in the area of single CTC genetic analysis and FFPE tumor tissues.
