Academic Salon 1: Cutting-edge technology platforms and scientific research innovation—from imaging, culture to mass spectrometry analysis

Introduction to the speaker

      Zhao Wenxia, He has long been responsible for the technical support and application services of Olympus microscopy imaging and whole-slide digital scanning systems. He mainly carries out the application and promotion of whole-slide scanning systems in pathology and life science research. Proficient in whole-slide scanning imaging platforms such as VS200, it can provide technical exchange and project implementation support for scientific researchers to carry out work related to digital pathology imaging.

      Liu Tianxing, Deeply engaged in the technical support and application services of Cytena single cell sorting and microbial precision separation technology, mainly responsible for the technical support of anaerobic workstations and high-precision bacterial colony detection and sorting systems. Familiar with Cytena single-cell printing and microbial single-cell sorting platforms, and able to customize special technical solutions for scientific research needs such as bacterial culture, detection, and sorting.

      Bi Qingjun, He has long been engaged in technical support and application services for Thermo Fisher mass spectrometry analysis technology, focusing on the scientific research application guarantee of mass spectrometers in the fields of proteomics and metabolomics. Proficient in high-resolution mass spectrometry platforms such as the Thermo Fisher Orbitrap series, assisting scientific researchers in completing technical discussions and scientific research project support in the direction of mass spectrometry analysis 。

At present, life science research is gradually moving towards high-throughput and refined directions, and large-scale scientific research technology platforms have become a key foundation to support cutting-edge scientific exploration. Technologies such as whole-slide scanning, bacterial colony detection and sorting, and mass spectrometry analysis are increasingly used in the fields of pathological research, microecological research, and omics research. Being familiar with and mastering the working principles, practical methods and scientific research application scenarios of the above-mentioned technology platforms is an important foundation for scientific researchers to produce high-quality scientific research results.

      In order to promote exchanges among scientific researchers in the field, three technical experts from the industry were specially invited to hold an academic salon focusing on three major topics: scientific research applications of whole-slide scanning systems, scientific research applications of anaerobic workstations and high-precision bacterial colony detection and sorting systems, and cutting-edge advances in high-throughput mass spectrometry technology. They shared the core features, typical application cases, and latest technological developments of each technology platform, and conducted on-site exchanges and discussions on various problems encountered during scientific research operations.

 Zhao Qin, He has long been engaged in technical support and project services for genetically modified animal models, and is mainly responsible for program design and application support of genetically modified mouse models. Familiar with various model construction strategies such as gene knockout, knock-in and conditional modification, he has accumulated rich experience in the selection and practical application of neuroscience research models.

      Tan Shuguang, Focus on the application support of PacBio third-generation sequencing technology, mainly responsible for the application of long-read sequencing platform in genomics and transcriptomics research. Familiar with HiFi sequencing technology routes, he can provide professional guidance for experimental design and data analysis of long-read sequencing, and assist scientific researchers in carrying out technical exchanges and project support related to third-generation sequencing.

Genetically modified animal models and long-read sequencing are two core tools in current life science research. Genetically modified mice can provide an in vivo research system for analyzing gene functions and constructing human disease models, and are widely used in the field of neuroscience. ； Long-read third-generation sequencing relies on the advantages of ultra-long reads and has unique advantages in research directions such as genome assembly, structural variation identification, and full-length transcript analysis. Mastering the basic principles and application strategies of the two types of technologies is of great value to promoting related scientific research work.

      In order to promote academic exchanges among researchers in the field, two industry technical experts were specially invited to hold an academic salon focusing on commonly used genetically modified mouse models in neuroscience research, long-read sequencing principles and cutting-edge applications. They shared ideas and practical cases for constructing genetically modified animal models, technical characteristics of long-read sequencing platforms and the latest research progress, and conducted discussions and exchanges around difficult issues in scientific research practice.
