Project Description and Objectives：
Single-cell biology has been a popular new field of research in recent years. In this field, the most advanced is the single-cell protein detection technology. Mass Cytometry (also named, CyTOF) is a multi-parameter detection technique for single cells using mass spectrometry. It inherits the characteristics of high-speed analysis of traditional flow cytometry and has a high resolution of mass spectrometry, which is a new development direction of flow cytometry. This project will focus on developing a CyTOF technique for single-cell analysis. CyTOF is a mass spectrometry technique based on inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry combined with mass tags that allows accurate measuring of various molecular species on single cells in a highly multiple fashion.
