Live Webinar: Decoding Human CMV-Specific CD8+ T Cells Through Multi-Layer Single-Cell Omics
In this upcoming webinar, Dr. Ioanna Gemünd, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Virology, Technical University of Munich will discuss how multi-layer single-cell analysis can link antigen specificity with the phenotype and clonality of human CD8⁺ T cells.
The webinar will be followed by a Q&A session, where Dr. Gemünd will be available to answer your questions.

Short Summary
This webinar presents a multi-layer single-cell approach for the identification and characterization of human antigen-specific CD8⁺ T cells. By combining DNA-barcoded pHLA multimers with transcriptomics, surface marker profiling, and TCR sequencing, the workflow links antigen specificity to cellular phenotype and clonality at single-cell resolution.
Key learning points:
- Antigen-specificity assignment from DNA-barcoded pHLA multimer data
- Flexible multiplexing strategies for single-cell studies
- Integration of transcriptomes, surface proteins, TCR repertoires, and antigen specificity
