CosMx™ Protein Grant

Leverage the power of CosMx™ Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI) to expand your single cell studies with Spatial context and advance your insights of cell-cell interactions, cell states and neighborhood analysis.

CosMx™ Protein Assays provide unbiased spatial proteomic analysis of tissue sections to expand the number of markers you can profile compared to traditional immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent methods. 

Win a free CosMx™ Protein assay project for Human Single-Cell Spatial Protein Analysis. Open to researchers in Europe, The Middle East & Africa.

Program Details:

• 2 winners will each receive 2 slides with 100mm² total tissue scanning per slide using the CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager running the CosMx 64-plex Human Immuno-Oncology Protein Panel through the Amsterdam CX Laboratory.
• The winners will provide samples to NanoString and NanoString will provide the CosMx reagents needed to run the project. In addition, NanoString will assist with project planning and data analysis to ensure a successful project outcome. NanoString will perform the CosMx SMI project from our CX Amsterdam Laboratory.
• The CosMx SMI Grant is to be open for submissions from 16th October 2023. Submissions must be received by 23:59 BST on 13th November 2023.
• If you have any questions, please email emeamarketing@nanostring.com.

Terms & Conditions

Publication of Project Results:

Upon project completion, the grant winner agrees to participate in at least one of the following activities relating to the specific project, with specific details of the applicable activity to be mutually agreed upon in good faith by NanoString and the winner: webinar, case study, blog post, or poster presentation. The winner agrees that NanoString shall have the right to publicly announce the winner’s name and research topic and use anonymized data from the winner’s project in application notes including in marketing materials and seminars.

Eligibility and Requirements:

• Applicants must be actively enrolled or employed at an institution or company (based in Europe, The Middle East or Africa) in a capacity in which they perform life science research and have the ability to ship and analyze samples within 45 days of award notification.
• The winner must be age 18 or older. Members of the immediate families of NanoString employees and directors, and/or persons living in the same household as such persons, are ineligible to participate in this grant program.
• No purchase is necessary to participate and to be selected as a winner.
• The grant winner will provide up to 2 slides to NanoString, with 100mm2 total tissue scanning per slide using the per slide to be mutually agreed upon by NanoString and the winner, and to be used with the CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager, running solely the CosMx Protein Panel through the CosMx SMI Technology Access Program at NanoString’s Cx Lab in Amsterdam. Each FOV covers an area of 0.7 mm x 1 mm. An assay report, including raw data and processed results, will be provided to the winner. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall NanoString perform any RNA detection, nor offer or sell any RNA consumables in connection with running the winner’s slides consistent with the notice directly above these terms.

Miscellaneous:

By submitting a grant application, each applicant agrees that NanoString may use his or her name, abstract title, and abstract for marketing purposes.
