Genomics Core Highlight

Congratulations to Dr. Taegun Kwon from the Genomics Core for becoming a sub-awardee on an R01 grant, collaborating with Dr. Daniel Trott of UTA to explore how senescent CD8+ T cells impact vascular aging and stiffness. Dr. Kwon will utilize his expertise in spatial and single-cell genomics to analyze transcriptomic changes in artery cells at a single-cell resolution, aiming to identify key transcripts involved in arterial aging influenced by T cells. This project integrates studies on T-cell immune system aging, age-related chronic inflammation, and vascular pathology to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes.

Coffee & Learn: 10X Instrument Launch for Single Cell and Spatial Genomics

Join us (register here) for an exclusive learn event organized by the Genomics Core in collaboration with 10x Genomics, where we will highlight our recent acquisitions—the Chromium X Series and Visium CytAssist. This event, scheduled for June 22 at 10AM in RES-326, offers a unique opportunity to explore the cutting-edge technologies that are transforming genomics research.

With the Chromium X Series, we delve into the world of single-cell genomics, unraveling cellular complexities with unprecedented resolution. Additionally, we introduce the Visium CytAssist, enabling spatial genomics to study tissue samples in their native context. Engage in keynote presentations, live demonstrations, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities to discover how these powerful tools can advance your research. Don't miss out on this exciting event that holds the promise of unlocking new frontiers in genomics.

Genomics Core manager update

Dr. Taegun Kwon is joining the Genomics Core as its new manager starting Jan 17^th, 2023. With a Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin and over 7 years of experience in the genomics field, Dr. Kwon brings a wealth of expertise and experience to the role. He is excited to be working closely with researchers in and around HSC to understand their needs and ensure that the Core is able to provide the necessary resources and expertise to support the innovative work.

Genomics Core acquiring new single-cell technologies

Genomics Core is excited to announce the upcoming arrival of Chromium X Series and Visium CytAssist from 10x genomics. These cutting-edge platforms will provide researchers with powerful new tools for single-cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics research.

Genomics Core now has access to GridION

Genomics Core is excited to announce that we now have access to the Oxford Nanopore GridION x5 system through the UTA NTGC alliance. This state-of-the-art technology allows for rapid and highly accurate DNA sequencing, which will greatly enhance the ability to conduct cutting-edge research in the fields of genomics and genetics.
