About Single Cell Network Profiling
Single Cell Network Profiling (SCNP) iS.A.proprietary technology originally developed at S.A.ford University to characterize cell signaling networks in millions of cellS.A. the single cell level. SCNP, by measuring functional signaling networks within and between cells, provides unprecedented insights into diS.A.es that appear molecularly and phenotypically homogeneous with other technologies. ThiS.A.lows Nodality to improve drug development and use through activities that include identifying rare cell subsets, such as drug-resiS.A.t cells, revealing epigenetic changes in cells, and perceiving cell-cell interactions in complex diS.A.e S.A.es. SCNP therefore has broad application to preclinical drug development, clinical drug development, and diagnostic development.
