NanoString 5th Annual Spatial Genomics Summit
View On Demand
The Spatial Genomics Summit will showcase exciting advancements in spatial biology, featuring the latest scientific discoveries by key leaders in their fields. Join us to learn about updates to the CosMx™ SMI, GeoMx® DSP and AtoMx™ SIP applications and product roadmaps. The Summit will highlight diverse spatial applications such as tissue atlasing, cell-cell interactions and cellular niche dynamics, proving their significance in each study.
Our speakers and their studies cross various research areas, such as oncology, immunology, neuroscience and spatial informatics.
Learning Objectives
- Understanding spatial heterogeneity in tissue microenvironments to gain insight into different regions of tissues to identify potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets.
- Explore spatial gene expression associated with various disease states. Comparing healthy and diseased tissues at the single-cell level to identify disease-specific alterations and potential spatial gene expression signatures.
- Learn to apply advanced computational methods to analyze and visualize complex multi-omics data and extract meaningful insights about the spatial organization and their impact on cellular function and disease.
