Andrew Potter
Senior Research Assistant
Andrew completed his BS in 2008 from the University of Cincinnati and his MS from Texas A&M university– Kingsville and started his single cell experience by running droplet-based single cell assays, including Drop-Seq and 10x Genomics Chromium. Andrew has handled a variety of single cell projects utilizing the Fluidigm C1 system as well. On the 10X Chromium, he has strong hands-on skills to run both 3’v3.1 and Multiome v1.1 assays. Andrew is constantly evaluating new tools and technologies and conducting early-stage feasibility experiments as well as exploring new molecular tools and has optimized protocols for single cell and nuclei isolation from mouse, human, and non-primate tissues for use with single cell and spatial assays. As part of the Human Cell Atlas program, he has contributed to the development and optimization of cold-active single cell dissociation protocols to reduce artifact gene expression changes and has several publications to his credit as co-author. His molecular biology and wet-lab experience includes cell resuscitation, confocal microscopy, tissue cryopreservation for snRNA-Seq and Visium spatial transcriptomics, dead cell removal and flow cytometry.
