This dynamic, interdisciplinary field integrates insights from medicine, biology, physics, computer science, and other disciplines to deepen our understanding of biological systems in health and disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200bThe meeting aims to bring together the rapidly growing academic community, fostering discussions on cutting-edge spatial technologies, innovative data analysis approaches, and their applications in both fundamental and translational research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renowned speakers will present the latest advances in the field, while young investigators will have ample opportunities for networking and scientific exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Session topics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tumor

EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"vf-box__text\">Please also note that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">EMBL never provides attendee lists for purchase.
