Vizgen workshop (Day 1)
Mapping the Future with Single-Cell Spatial Genomics – An Introduction to MERSCOPE®
The complexity of biological systems lies not only in cell type heterogeneity but also in their spatial organization within tissues and organs. While single-cell RNA sequencing helps deep dive into individual cell identities and functions, spatial transcriptomics offer a comprehensive view of gene expression patterns that preserves spatial relationships across cellular microenvironments – essential for understanding tissue function and pathology.
In this workshop, we will introduce you to Vizgen's all-in-one in situ genomics platform MERSCOPE®, which enables the direct profiling of the spatial organization of intact tissue at subcellular resolution, with genomic-scale throughput.
We will then demonstrate how the MERSCOPE® Visualizer software can be used to easily explore high-resolution images, visualise segmented cell boundaries, quantify thousands of detected transcripts, and smoothly integrate single-cell gene expression analysis results.
Workshop presenter: Dr. Carole Chedid, Field Application Scientist, Vizgen, BE
Miltenyi Biotec workshop (Day 2)
MACS iQ View Software solutions for analyzing spatial biology data
The field of spatial biology continues to grow. High-multiplex imaging generates big and complex datasets. There is a high need for user-friendly software solutions enabling researchers to get scientific results fast and easy.
In this workshop a basic analysis workflow is demonstrated in the MACS iQ View software ranging from data visualisation and single-cell identification to cell gating and profiling. A basic analysis workflow is built enabling to obtain meaningful insights from complex spatial biology data.
Workshop presenter: Veerle Lemmens - Imaging Specialist Miltenyi Biotec, BE
10x Genomics workshop (Day 3)
Xenium in situ: See Biology at true resolution
Single cell RNA sequencing has revolutionized our understanding of complex biological systems. These insights are only made richer when combined with spatial information. High-plex in situ analysis provided by Xenium enables scientists to view their samples with subcellular resolution at a depth like never before, by profiling 100s-1,000s of targets in situ. This type of analysis enables researchers to locate and type cells within their biological context, address questions about cell–cell communication, cellular microenvironments, and identify rare cell infiltration. Xenium In Situ, provides another powerful tool that can be used alongside Chromium Single Cell and Visium Spatial.
Please join us to learn about:
- The robust workflow and high throughput of Xenium
- Validated analysis panels and/or custom content for any species
- Additional capabilities such as isoform, gene fusion and SNP detection in situ
- The interplay between Chromium Single Cell, Visium and Xenium in situ
Workshop presenter: Koen De Gelas - Science & Technology Advisor - 10X Genomics, BE
