Imaging-based spatial-omics

Overview

Applications for this event are not open yet. If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest.

Course overview

The aim of the course is to provide participants a comprehensive introduction to the various methods of spatial-omics and in particular those of multiplex immunofluorescence and spatial transcriptomics. We want to provide a general overview of the methods and assist researchers choose the right method for their needs.

With hands-on practicals, the course will teach participants how to carry out open-source imaging-based methods for cost-effective spatial transcriptomics and multiplex immunofluorescence. The course will cover all experimental stages, including custom reagent preparation, sample preparation and data acquisition (with various microscopy modalities) as well as image processing and basic data analysis.

Audience

This course is open to PhD students, postdocs and staff. We seek participants from the following backgrounds: tissue biology or biomedicine with experience in basic tissue handling, immunofluorescence and basic microscopy.

What past participants say about the course

“This hands-on workshop, led by the researchers who developed the techniques, was an exceptional opportunity to gain practical skills and deep insights. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to understand how these methods work, recognize their limitations, learn how to troubleshoot them, and advance their research.” – Olus Uyar, Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, Canada

“The course has been extremely helpful for me as a new PhD student. It provided a clear and comprehensive overview of the key methods in the field, including their advantages and potential pitfalls. I would highly recommend it to anyone planning to work with spatial omics technologies in their research — it’s a great way to get started more quickly, efficiently, and with fewer mistakes. After completing the course, you’ll be able to choose the most suitable approach for your needs and implement it immediately, with extensive support from the trainers.” – Karina Araslanova, Medical University of Vienna, Austria
