Title: "Using single cell genomics to understand cell fate decisions"
With recent technological developments it has become possible to characterise a single cell’s genome, epigenome, transcriptome and proteome. However, to take advantage of such data it is critical that appropriate computational methods are applied and developed. In this presentation, I will describe some of the computational challenges and the solutions we have developed, focusing particularly on applications in the context of cell fate decisions in early mammalian development.

Things about neonates...
The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership has published National Neonatal Audit Programme 2019: annual report on 2018 data.  The National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP) reports on key measures of the care provided to babies in 181 neonatal services across England, Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Man.  Included in this annual report for the first time is network level reporting of mortality until discharge from the neonatal unit, and adherence to neonatal nurse staffing standards.

and also...
NHS England has published Implementing the recommendations of the Neonatal Critical Care Transformation Review.  This action plan to implement the recommendations of the Neonatal Critical Care Transformation Review sets out how the NHS will further improve neonatal care with the support of funding set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.

Things about Paediatric Intensive Care...
The Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership has published Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network: Annual Report 2019.  This is the sixteenth annual PICANet clinical audit report summarising paediatric critical care that took place in the United Kingdom and Republic of  Ireland between 2016 and 2018.  It provides data on five key metrics: case ascertainment; retrieval mobilisation times; number of qualified nurses per bed; emergency readmissions within 48 hours and mortality in PICU.
