Biological systems are composed of numerous cell types, intricately organized to form functional tissues and organs. However, the tissue organization is lost when cells are dissociated for single-cell sequencing, making it difficult to study how cellular heterogeneity contributes to tissue function.

In this presentation, we will introduce you to Vizgen’s all-in-one in situ genomics platform MERSCOPE, a platform which now resides in the BRC Imaging Facility.  The MERSCOPE enables direct profiling of the spatial organization of intact tissue with genomic-scale throughput. MERSCOPE is a cutting-edge spatial biology platform powered by MERFISH technology, capable of co-detecting up to 1000 genes and 6 proteins in cultured cells, FFPE, fresh frozen, and fixed frozen tissue types. You will learn how MERSCOPE spatial genomics can be applied to a wide range of biological research areas.  Lunch will be provided. Register Here: https://bit.ly/4dSUtoP
