Spatial Biology – The 2024 SciLifeLab Science Summit
October 1, 2024 @ 09:00 – 17:00 CEST
Spatial Biology is an emerging field driven by recent advances in Spatial Omics technologies. The aim of the summit is to present the spatial omics capabilities at SciLifeLab, and examples of uses of such methods to address various research areas in Life Science. A lot of pioneering work in Spatial Biology originates from researchers associated with SciLifeLab, and we hope to inspire more researchers to explore this approach and to join this growing spatial community.
The Annual Conference SciLifeLab Science Summit is a one-day symposium with a new topic each year. The topic for 2024 is Spatial Biology. Register today.
We warmly welcome international visitors to attend this free event. The conference also offers fantastic opportunities for networking and discussions with top academic researchers and industry leaders in spatial omics technology.
Welcome!
Mats Nilsson, Chair of the Scientific Committee, Charlotte Stadler, Per Andrén and Stefania Giacomello
