We want to provide a general overview of the methods and assist researchers choose the right method for their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;<em>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.<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Olus Uyar, Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;<em>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 \u2014 it\u2019s a great way to get started more quickly, efficiently, and with fewer mistakes.
