• Molecular characterization of complex tissues • Spatial genomics
Nano-precision in the location of RNA molecules inside tissues is crucial for many biological processes including learning and
memory. The multiplexed measurement of the nanoscale position of these molecules allows mapping the heterogeneity of
complex tissues, and therefore can lead to a better understanding of many diseases including cancer. -
