Bio
Dr. Vickovic is currently a Wallenberg Academy Fellow and SciLifeLab Fellow at the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology at Uppsala University. Dr. Vickovic received her PhD in Gene Technology from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Following her graduate work, Dr. Vickovic joined the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Columbia University and the New York Genome Center before continuing in her current role as Assistant Professor at Uppsala University. Dr. Vickovic has extensively worked on pioneering novel spatially resolved transcriptomics and genomics methods that enable massively parallel in situ profiling of intact tissue samples.
Describing tissue pathogenesis with spatial technologies
Abstract: Spatial and molecular characteristics determine tissue function, yet high-resolution methods to capture both concurrently are lacking. In recent years, we developed high-definition spatial transcriptomics and multi-omics technologies, which captures RNA, protein information or microbiota from histological tissue sections on spatially barcoded arrays. Today, I will present how these different technologies were developed and are applied in different biological settings.
