Lunch and Learn Seminar

Spatial transcriptomics without compromising data quality

Join us on Wednesday, April 19, from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Basement Seminar Room, Patrick G. Johnston Centre for Cancer Research (PGJCCR), Belfast


Along with our host, Courtney Ward, Core Facility Manager at the Genomics CTU, Queens University Belfast, we would like to invite you to join our seminar, presented by our Customer Technology Advisor, Matthew Graham. You will learn:

  • How to navigate the spatial technology landscape and choose the right approach for your research
  • Practical applications along with supporting data
  • The future development of spatial transcriptomics

The ability to analyze complex gene expression patterns has improved our understanding of functional, integrated biology, with every decade providing another quantal leap. Spatial Transcriptomics is a groundbreaking technology that provides quantification and visualization of the transcriptome with a spatial resolution that has rapidly progressed in the past few years.

Molecular CartographyTM technology is a pioneering multiplex spatial analysis method based on the ‘Gold Standard’ of smFISH. Scientists can visualize up to a hundred different genes directly in situ with sub-cellular resolution and high sensitivity, even the rare transcripts within the cells. This method can accurately capture the transcript’s spatial location within the 3-dimensional resolution in a wide variety of tissue types.
