Technological advances and computational approaches for spatially resolved transcriptomics

Spatially-resolved transcriptomics enables high-throughput gene expression profiling within the spatial context of tissues, offering valuable insights into cellular function and tissue organisation. By integrating spatial coordinates with gene expression data, researchers can identify spatially co-localised cell populations and uncover the spatial dynamics of gene expression.
This webinar will explore the latest technological advances and computational approaches for analysing spatially-resolved transcriptomics data, equipping participants to critically plan their experimental design and analyses.
Who is this course for?
This webinar is suitable for any researcher in life sciences who is interested in exploring spatial omics and learning about relevant methods and resources . No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but an undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be useful.
