The cell menagerie: human immune profiling
- cryoshon 11y agoThis is a pretty good article outlining the state of the art in immunology. I thought the technique for single-cell handling was quite interesting. I work daily with flow cytometry and formerly worked daily with mass cytometry-- these tools (especially CyTOF!) are really giving us a glut of data to sift through that becomes unmanageable very quickly. I think there's definitely room for information technologists to help out here. There's already algorithmic ways of parsing the vast amounts of data that we get, but they're very imperfect and depicting the scope is nearly impossible.
