TEAM

The SAIL team is dedicated to exceptional research. Our mission is to embrace the latest innovations in single-cell sequencing and imaging-based profiling and to offer powerful analytical solutions. Our experimental group continually implements and optimizes new technologies, assays and biological contexts, and our computational group benchmarks analytical methods and develops robust pipelines to support researches with an ever-expanding range of data modalities.
