Talk by Parashar Dhapola, CEO - Nygen

Title: Druggable Cell Populations Missed by Standard Annotation

Stage: Single-Cell Stage, Day 1

Date and time: Wednesday, June 3, 2026, 2:40 to 3:10 PM US/Eastern (30 minutes)

Cell annotation turns single-cell data into a target hypothesis, and on disease tissue most pipelines get it wrong. This talk walks through cases across fibrosis, oncology, and cell therapy where standard annotation hid clinically actionable biology.
