The First International Conference on Single Cell Sequencing and Spatial Omics (TICSSO-1)

With the success of the Human Genome Project (HGP), and the related technology particularly the next generation sequencing, the understanding of the architecture, function, and their underlying molecular mechanism of life, from cells, tissues, organs to systems has been greatly revolutionized. The knowledge has been transformed from microscopic observation of cell morphology to analysis of gene and protein expression profile, from the overall characteristics of bulk cells to the study of heterogeneity, from single-cell transcriptome to single-cell multi-omics, and further to the systematic integration of trajectory and spatial information at different hierarchies. The Human Cell Atlas (HCA) project launched in October 2017 considerably promotes this progress. The application of single-cell analysis technology has penetrated into varieties of fields, such as tumors, stem cells, nerve system, development, organoid, aging, degeneration and regeneration, reproduction, genetics, immunology, inflammation and the intervention of infectious diseases. Single-cell analysis has a profound influence on the whole field of life science, medicine, and pharmaceutics.

The global market of single-cell sequencing is worth $3.2 billion in 2022, which is expected to reach $7.7 billion by 2028, enjoying a compound annual growth rate of 13.2% from 2022 to 2028, according to a market study. Importantly, the application of single-cell technology has no limitation. The global single-cell industry is stepping on a rapid developing stage. Particularly, with the technologies of multi-omics and spatio-omics listed as the Method of the Year for 2019 and 2020 respectively by Nature Methods, a series of novel technological products have been matured, and are getting tempted into application. Under this circumstance, it is urgent for the science, technology, development and industry, capital, medicine, pharmaceutics, government, media and other parties over the world to collaborate closely on conducting a comprehensive and in-depth discussion on a variety of hot topics of single-cell sequencing.

To promote and upgrade the development of the single-cell research and development, the First International Conference on Single Cell Sequencing and Spatial Omics (TICSSO-1) is formally organized and scheduled. Scientists, entrepreneurs and investors, including domestic and international industrial leaders and young elites who have made continuous efforts and innovations in single-cell technology and application, are invited to exchange and discuss their progresses and opinions on the single-cell omics.

The conference will focus on three aspects, "technological breakthrough", "research and innovation" and "industrial strategy". We will review and prospect the upstream, middle-stream and downstream of the industrial chain, from sequencing and service to application, and build a global platform to unite and accelerate the professionals in this field for highly efficient cooperation and transformation in science and technology. A series of talks, poster presentations, workshops, discussions, and networking in the event will keep you up to date on the latest developments while also enabling you to establish new connections.
