Audience: Stem cell biologists (PhD students, Postdocs, Research associates) working with single-cell genomics data. 
Beginners (Group B): first steps into single-cell data, little to no coding experience
Advanced (Group A): have already had hands-on data and some coding experience, ideally in Python. 
Goal: This workshop aims to equip stem cell biologists with a comprehensive introduction to computational single-cell genomics, focusing on data analysis using software from the scverse ecosystem. Designed for both beginners and advanced users, the workshop will provide hands-on experience with key tools for processing and analyzing multiple single-cell data modalities, including:
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) 
Spatial transcriptomics
Single-cell ATAC sequencing (scATAC-seq) (for advanced attendees only)

Save the date: the 2025 GSCN Conference will take place at Helmholtz Munich in Neuherberg from 15 - 17 October 2025.

What a great conference: The 12^th GSCN Conference took place in Jena from 25 until 27 Sept. 2024. With around 340 participants, 160 posters, 9 keynotes, 2 get together and a big industry exhibition, it was a busy, exciting and vivid meeting. Lots of ongoing discussions, networking and inspiring conversations over the three days. Find the foto gallery of the whole three days of the conference with dowlnload option here.
