1-day workshop to discuss innovation in the area of spatial transcriptomics (ST). Registration required.
Led by faculty at Cornell with experience in various ST methodologies, together with the Directors of the Cornell Transcriptional regulation and gene expression (TREx), Bioninformatics, Genomics, and Imaging Core Facilities. In addition, we will hear talks from three companies presending their various ST platforms. Seminars will be provided by leading researchers specializing in ST, including:
- Dr. Hongkui Zeng (The Allen Institute)
- Dr. Andrew Ji (Mount Sinai School of Medicine)
- Dr. Silas Maniaitis (NY Genome Center)
Zoom or in-person attendance available. Lunch provided to in-person attendees. In-person attendance is capped at 150 people.
