The Spatial Biology Tour™ 2024
The Spatial Biology Tour™ is back!
This year, we’re hitting the road with our all-new Spatial Biology Tour™ van, stopping in leading research hubs across Europe and bringing the spatial revolution directly to the scientific community.
Join The Spatial Biology Tour™ at a nearby city if you want to learn:
- How spatial biology is transforming research areas like immuno-oncology, neuroscience, immunology, and infectious diseases;
- How COMET™ technology enables the simultaneous spatial detection of RNA and proteins on the same tissue section using RNAscope™ HiPlex Pro and sequential immunofluorescence (seqIF™) with off-the-shelf, non-conjugated primary antibodies;
- How to leverage your existing antibody libraries when performing high-parameter spatial tissue analysis;
- The advantages of a complete end-to-end spatial biology solution for interrogating your samples and extracting valuable biological insights.
The seminars will feature talks, product demonstrations and networking sessions. Registration is free and includes coffee/lunch.
Check the detailed program below and find a stop near you!
What is the registration cost? Is it necessary?
Registration for the event is free but is required to access the event.
I’d like to attend. How do I register?
To register, simply fill out the form at the bottom of the page.
Can I attend online and/or will the talks be recorded?
Unfortunately not, 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 listed, but I am interested in hosting a Spatial Biology Tour event.
Our mission is to bring spatial biology to every researcher! Please contact [email protected] and we will do our best to set something up.
