The session will cover workflows for Antibody Di scovery and T Cell Profiling applications\; including cytotoxicity\, cell surface and cytokine profiling\, cell–cell interaction assays\, and clon e recovery for downstream sequencing and engineering. \nThe Beacon® platf orm enables researchers to sort and analyze tens of thousands of live cell s with a variety of functional assays over time. Cell sorting is accomplis hed with light\, preserving cell health and allowing for the creation of c omplex co-cultures. Analysis is done in single-cell microfluidic chambers\ , unlocking the ability to measure complex biology at single cell resoluti on. Assays are performed on live cells\, and data is captured over-time to provide dynamic and longitudinal insights. Finally\, single cells are col lected post-assay for scale-up or downstream molecular analysis. These int egrated capabilities have accelerated development of therapeutics\, diagno stics\, and reagents\; and has identified novel biomarkers for complex bio logics. Attendees will leave the seminar understanding: \n\nThe Beacon Pla tform’s Technical Capabilities and Applications\nAntibody Discovery & BC R/TCR Repertoire Analysis – Sequencing B cells to develop antibodies aga inst known and novel /unknown antigens in one day\nCell-Cell Interaction A nalysis – Characterizing T cell cytotoxicity\, cytokine secretion\, cell surface protein expression\, and cell motility in live cell co-cultures t o understand functionality of CARs/TCRs/BiTEs\nFunctional Biology + Spatia l Biology – A case study interrogating functional TCRs in a patient tumo r and spatially mapping T cell receptors to understand cancer  pathology\ n\nSpeakers:\nJoseph Valdez\, Ph.D. | Technical Sales Manager\nDr. Valdez accelerates researchers’ goals by translating their operations onto the Beacon. Dr. Valdez trained in molecular and cellular analysis in the field of oncology and holds deep experience in cutting-edge analytical methods \nAmanda M. Dossat\, Ph.D. | Field Applications Scientist\nDr. Dossat brin gs a strong background in molecular biology and high-content confocal imag ing.

Although plate-based approaches and droplet microfluidics enab le scalable single-cell compartmentalization\, they remain limited by inco mpatibilities with multi-step workflows and constrained reagent exchange. Atrandi’s semi-permeable capsule (SPC) technology addresses these challe nges by enabling scalable multi-step reactions while preserving single-cel l resolution and reducing assay and sequencing costs. SPCs compartmentaliz e single cells\, nuclei\, or beads within an aqueous core. \nAgenda: \n\n1 2:00-12:40 Dr. Stephanie Gao’s Talk ““Resolve Microbial Diversity\, One Cell at a Time: Innovative Semi-Permeable Capsules (SPCs) for Single-C ell Microbial Whole Genome Sequencing”\n12:40-12:50 Kristof O’Connor “New Product Roadmap”\n12:50-1pm Question/Answer Session\n\nTeams Meet ing Link: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/322076583012003?p=SujYBrPxjglcY YYSNJ \nPasscode: cn9t5Xp9 LAST-MODIFIED:20260820T180630Z URL:https://biotech.ufl.edu/event/seminar-with-atrandi-biosciences-virtual -event/ X-SOURCE-NAME:UF ICBR X-SOURCE-URL:https://biotech.ufl.edu/events/category/workshop/list END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:10x Genomics Lunch and Learn DTSTART:20260923T150000Z DTEND:20260923T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260824T180632Z UID:43388-1790161200-1790168400@biotech.ufl.edu CATEGORIES:tech DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn how Chromium Single Cell\, Visium Spatial\, X enium In Situ\, and Atera In Situ platforms from 10x Genomics can help you push the boundaries of your research.
