The Spatial Biology Tour 2023
Hello Europe! The Spatial Biology Tour™ starts here. This seminar series will make a stop at various academic research institutions across the continent to introduce the spatial revolution to the scientific community.
Join The Spatial Biology Tour™ at a nearby city if you want to learn:
- How spatial biology is used in research areas such as immuno-oncology, neuroscience, immunology and infectious diseases;
- How to leverage your existing antibody libraries when performing high-parameter spatial tissue analysis;
- The benefits of an end-to-end spatial biology solution to interrogate your samples and extract biological insights.
The seminars will feature talks, product demonstrations and networking sessions. Check the detailed program below and find a city near you.
What is the registration cost? Is it necessary?
Registration for the event is free and it is required to join the seminar room.
I’d like to attend. How do I register?
To register, simply fill in the form at the bottom at the page.
Can I attend online and/or will the talks be recorded?
No, The Spatial Biology Tour™ is an in-person event only.
I have a question/need support regarding an upcoming seminar.
Please send your message to [email protected].
My city/area is not in the list, but I am interested in hosting a Spatial Biology Tour event.
Our mission is to bring spatial biology to every laboratory. We would be happy to visit additional cities. Please contact [email protected].

Co-Director of the Spatial Biology Platform, Head of Spatial Proteomics
SciLifeLab
Today, her main focus is to develop and implement services and technologies that can be offered by the Spatial Proteomics Facility. Her internal research projects focus on the implementation of multiplexed imaging solutions into clinical practice but also on integrating different omics types for a more complete molecular understanding of the tissue sample biology.
