Front Line Genomics invites you to their event

Spatial Biology ONLINE - Webinar 1: Using advanced spatial approaches to gain biological insights

About this event

Understanding the organisation of cells and tissues, and how this influences function is fundamental to life science research. The emergence of spatial and single-cell technologies has already provided insights into biological pathways and aided in our understanding of health and disease.

Join us for Spatial Biology ONLINE where we’ll discuss advances in spatial analysis and how we can harness these new techniques to gain unparalleled insights into tissue architecture, gene expression, cellular heterogeneity and more.

Webinar 1: Using advanced spatial approaches to gain biological insights

Thursday 8th September 2022 at 3pm BST/ 4pm CET/ 10am EST

Delineating spatial information is complex, and often requires advanced computational approaches to underpin disease biology.

In this webinar, we will highlight how spatial biology is being utilised, and highlight advanced analytical techniques to derive useful insights.

Webinar 2: Spatial analysis for precision medicine and disease biology

Thursday 15th September 2022 at 3pm BST/ 4pm CET/ 10am EST

Dissecting the molecular information of diseases has been enabling granular understanding of the biological processes behind disease formation, and uncovering clues to treatment options.

The precision that spatial analysis provides can be harnessed as a tool for biomarker discovery.

In this webinar, we examine how spatial technologies are being utilised to support drug discovery efforts and whether this type of analysis could hold the key to unlocking the next era of precision medicine.

Webinar 3: Harnessing the power of spatial technologies in research

Thursday 22nd September 2022 at 3pm BST/ 4pm CET/ 10am EST

Spatial technologies are rapidly advancing. From spatial transcriptomics, genomics and multi-omic technologies, how can we best apply these technologies in research and uncover the unparalleled resolution of spatial biology?

In this webinar, we will cover technological advances in spatial analysis, and provide an in-depth case study of utilisation in Alzheimer’s disease models.
