Spatial Biology: Neuroscience, Cancer, and Beyond
---spatial-biology.tmb-cfthumb_l.webp?Culture=en&sfvrsn=958aec4_1)
Brought to you by the Gairdner Foundation and SickKids Research Institute Program in Neurosciences & Mental Health.
Biological systems, including organs and tumors, exist in three-dimensional space. Spatial Biology is a rapidly evolving field of science that enables the study of RNA, protein, and other molecules in two- or three-dimensional space, thereby allowing for understanding of niche architecture and cell-cell interactions. This Symposium, sponsored by the Gairdner Foundation and the Program in Neuroscience and Mental Health at SickKids Research Institute, will bring together world experts in Spatial Biology to discuss recent technological advances and discoveries, as well as future opportunities for the application of spatially-informed analysis approaches. Please register for refreshments.
