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
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology is revolutionizing cell biology. However, the variability between individual iPSC lines and the lack of efficient technology to comprehensively characterize iPSC- derived cell types hinder its adoption in routine preclinical screening settings. To facilitate the validation of iPSC- derived cell culture composition, we have implemented an imaging assay based on cell painting and deep learning to recognize cell types in dense and mixed cultures with high fidelity. The approach holds promise for use in the quality control of iPSC-derived cell culture models and can be used for documenting semi-stable states in heterogeneous and plastic cell cultures.
