April 15 - 19

Boston, MA

Booth #836

Advance Immune Biology Research

Discover an integrated spatial biology portfolio built for discovery-driven immunology, combining spatial RNA detection, low-to-high-plex protein profiling, and same-section multiomic analysis. Powered by gold-standard RNAscope™ technology and universal seqIF™ workflows, our solutions help researchers generate deeper immune insights from every tissue sample.

 

Meet us at booth #836

Connect with our team and schedule a 1:1 with our technical experts to:  

  • Explore COMET™ for automated, reproducible high-plex spatial immune profiling, enabling deep characterization of immune cell states and interactions within preserved tissue context.
  • Map high-plex immune biology faster with SPYRE™ Antibody Panels on COMET™, using validated, ready-to-use panels designed to reduce optimization and accelerate discovery-driven research.
  • Enhance detection of low-abundance immune markers with SPYRE™ Amplification Kit, supporting deeper immune phenotyping and more complete characterization of functional immune states.
  • Integrate RNAscope™ into your spatial workflows – Visualize RNA and Protein together by detecting low-abundance cytokines in complex tissue, linking RNA expression to protein function spatially. 
  • Learn about ProximityScope™ assay: Multiomic workflow enabling visualization of protein proximity for studying disease mechanisms.
  • Explore raw data and image analysis strategies with HORIZON™ Image Analysis Software.

Kim van den Handel, M.Sc.

Advanced Research Associate

Lunaphore

Kim obtained her Master’s degree in Cancer, Stem Cells and Developmental Biology from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. During her Bachelor’s and Master’s programs, she investigated synergistic treatment strategies for neuroblastoma by targeting various protein pathways at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology. To complete her Master’s studies, she moved to Finland, where she explored how hematopoietic stem cell potential is influenced by cell size within the bone marrow microenvironment at the University of Helsinki. Kim's academic journey sparked her interest in spatial biology, leading her to join Lunaphore in April 2024. Within the R&D team, she empowers researchers by partnering with them to explore the full capabilities of COMET™ and HORIZON™ for their work, while also actively supporting the development of innovative new products.
