LAM Research Virtual Conference: Leveraging the LAM Cell Atlas for Scientific Discovery
Explore the use of the LAM Cell Atlas presented by Yan Xu, PhD of the Division of Pulmonary Biology and Biomedical Informatics at Cincinnati Childrens’ Hospital Medical Center. Scientists are actively researching LAM to better understand its pathogenesis and develop improved treatments. The application of single-cell multi-omics in LAM provides valuable insights into the disease cells and their interactions within the disease environment. However, it generates complex data that can be challenging for researchers without computational skills to utilize effectively. To address this, the LAM Cell Atlas (LCA-v1) was created in 2022. The LAM Cell Atlas (LCA) is a free web-based portal that provides easy access to integrated single-cell RNA sequencing data compiled from the analysis of lung, uterus, and kidneys of patients with LAM. The LCA provides user-friendly graphical interfaces with a variety of interactive options for investigators to search, visualize, and reanalyze comprehensive single-cell omics data sets without the need for programming or coding. The LCA provides a robust data resource to test new hypotheses and discover novel biomarkers. The LCA can be accessed here. Watch this webinar to learn more about this important and easily accessible tool for LAM research.
