The Spatial Omics Unit specializes in assays for determining the spatial localization of transcripts and proteins in intact tissue sections, allowing the quantification of gene and protein expression in tissue space.

As the youngest unit in the DcGC, we have been continuously establishing new technologies since our launch in 2023. The level of innovation in the field of Spatial Omics is especially dynamic, and we strive to remain current with the newest methods and technologies.

Through seamless collaboration with the histology and light microscopy facilities from CMCB, we offer start-to-end assays that enable transcriptome and/or proteome quantification via sequencing or imaging. Below you can learn more about the single-cell methods in our portfolio.

Our assays are based on instrumentation from 10x Genomics. Those include the Visium CytAssist for precise alignment and transfer of tissue sections to Visium slides, and the Xenium In Situ Platform, an imaging-based assay with sub-cellular resolution.
