University of Alabama Seminar – Hybrid
Revealing Hidden Biology with Spatial Multiomics Using the GeoMx DSP and CosMx SMI
At this hybrid event, we will introduce NanoString’s spatial multiomic systems, the GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP) and CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI), followed by an exciting presentation by Amit Gaggar, MD, PhD.
The GeoMx DSP allows you to measure tens to thousands of RNA or protein analytes in cell types or morphological structures to understand cellular heterogeneity.
The CosMx SMI is the first high-plex spatial in situ instrument to provide rapid quantification and visualization of up to 1,000 RNA and 100 protein analytes in a single-cell and subcellular analysis. This system gives deep insights for cell atlasing, tissue phenotyping, cell-to-cell interactions, cellular processes, and biomarker discovery.
Registration is now closed for this event.
Speakers
Amy Johnson, PhD
District Sales Manager, NanoString Technologies
Amy Johnson is a District Sales Manager for the Mid-Atlantic region at NanoString Technologies. Prior to her current role, Amy was a Technical Sales Specialist focused on NanoString Technologies’ GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler and CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager platforms. Amy earned her PhD in nutritional biochemistry and completed her postdoctoral training in the Department of Nutrition at UNC-Chapel Hill. From fetal brain development to immunometabolism in obesity, she has used in vitro and in vivo model systems as well as human study populations to research the interplay between genetic variation in metabolic pathway enzymes and individual health.
