About the events
The seminar series will connect the Australian scientific community with cutting-edge spatial biology solutions sitting at the intersection of spatial proteomics—Nature Method of the Year 2024—and spatial transcriptomics, which received the same recognition in 2020.
Join us and learn more about:
-
How spatial biology is driving discoveries in immuno-oncology, neuroscience, immunology, and infectious diseases;
-
The use of COMET™ technology for simultaneous spatial detection of RNA and proteins on the same tissue section, integrating RNAscope™ HiPlex Pro with sequential immunofluorescence (seqIF™);
-
How to leverage your existing antibody libraries and automate current IHC assays to perform high-parameter spatial tissue analysis;
- The advantages of a complete end-to-end spatial biology solution for interrogating your samples.
The seminars will feature user experiences, demonstrations, and networking opportunities with fellow scientists and industry leaders. Registration is free, and coffee is on us — check the detailed program below and secure your spot today!
What is the registration cost? Is it necessary?
