Description | Single-cell sequencing of the ageing retina |
Organisation | Stony Brook University |
Country | United States |
Sector | Academic/University |
PI Contribution | My research team are experts at fish models of the ageing retina. |
Collaborator Contribution | This is a partnership to exchange knowledge between a leading Killifish lab (Hu lab) and the Clark/Ruzycki lab on single-cell sequencing technologies. The Hu lab provides tissues for preliminary data and the Clark/Ruzycki labs facilitate access to specialised sequencing technologies and data analysis/storage. |
