Single Cell Single Molecule Symposium 2025 at the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery

Single Cell Single Molecule Symposium 2025 at the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery

Last week, chemistry groups within the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery hosted a Single-Cell Single-Molecule Symposium, bringing together leading experts in proteomics, single-cell microfluidics, single-molecule detection, and device development.

The event was organised to facilitate the dissemination of the BBSRC-funded project, Single-Molecule Proteomics: Next-Generation Analysis of Proteins in Individual Cells, and to foster discussions on the latest advancements in the field.

The symposium was hosted by Professor Justin Benesch and welcomed associated research groups alongside a wider circle of scientists from across disciplines. Over two days, attendees took part in a dynamic programme featuring talks, presentations, and a poster session, which was met with great enthusiasm. The event provided a platform for researchers to exchange ideas, showcase progress, and explore future collaborations.

Members of the scientific advisory board were also in attendance, offering valuable feedback and insights. A key highlight of the symposium was the collaborative environment within the Kavli Institute, which strongly supports early-career researchers working on this project. The event underscored the importance of interdisciplinary research in driving innovation in single-cell and single-molecule science.

Since April 2021, Oxford University's KAVLI Institute for Nanoscience Discovery is proudly serving as a hub for research groups from seven different departments spanning both the medical and physical sciences, including the Benesch Group from the Department of Chemistry.
