Insights into current developments in spatial transcriptomics
Second workshop by the Single-Cell Center attracts numerous research
With more than 40 participants from a wide range of research fields, the Spatial Transcriptomics workshop organized by the Single-Cell Center and 10x Genomics on May 20 was a great success.
The workshop focused on current developments and applications in spatial transcriptomics technologies. Particular emphasis was placed on Visium and Xenium, while participants were also given insights into the new ATERA platform, which enables high-throughput whole-transcriptome imaging at single-cell resolution. Special attention was devoted to modern analytical approaches for spatial omics data, especially the integration of AI-driven methods for the interpretation of complex tissue architectures.
Among the highlights of the workshop was the presentation by Andy Shing Fung Chan from Dominic Grün’s laboratory. He presented current research findings on the application of Xenium technology to cardiac tissue in animal models, including spatially resolved analyses of cell-cell interactions during cardiac wound healing and development.
In addition to the scientific presentations, the workshop offered numerous opportunities for discussion, professional exchange, and networking within the Würzburg single-cell and spatial transcriptomics community.
