Based on Imaging Mass Cytometry™, Hyperion systems are ideal for clinical and translational research where fast results lead to quicker discoveries, imaging 40-plus markers simultaneously on up to 280 samples per week. The spatial biology platform uniquely empowers researchers to mix and match different antibodies without extensive assay validation and enables the quantitation of weak signals in the presence of bright signals in the same sample.

Aspect Analytics
Bronze Sponsor
Aspect Analytics develops enterprise software to analyze and integrate spatial omics data. Spatial technologies are steadily maturing into a key enabler in drug development, biomarker discovery, and life science research. With spatial omics datasets commonly generating tens to hundreds of gigabytes of complex data in a single experiment, data analysis is becoming a critical bottleneck in the adoption of this emerging technology. Aspect Analytics bridges the gap between algorithmic development in bioinformatics research and enterprise-grade software platforms to support key spatial omics-based applications. Our software can (i) extract maximal knowledge from spatial data, including co-registration with different modalities, (ii) scale up for high-throughput applications and (iii) provide integrated data management, traceability and more. Aspect Analytics enables breakthrough research and facilitates cross-disciplinary teamwork by bringing spatial multi-omics data into a single view, collaborative platform.
Hawk Biosystems
Bronze Sponsor
HAWK Biosystems is an innovative biotechnology company based in Bilbao, Spain, and a spin-off from prestigious institutions such as Cancer Research UK (CRUK) and the Francis Crick Institute in London. Founded in 2018 by an exceptional team of scientists and business leaders, HAWK has rapidly positioned itself at the forefront of spatial biology, providing ground-breaking solutions for the analysis of protein functions in tissue. At HAWK Biosystems, our mission is to develop advanced diagnostic systems that accelerate the progress of personalized medicine, focusing on critical diseases such as cancer. Our cutting-edge technology, QF-Pro®, is a revolutionary platform that enables precise, quantitative analysis of protein functions at a sub-pixel resolution. Unlike traditional techniques, QF-Pro® is capable of identifying protein-protein interactions and post-translational modifications within tissue samples at a resolution of less than 10 nanometers. This innovation provides clinicians and researchers with reproducible, robust, and unbiased data, which has demonstrated significant clinical value. For instance, QF-Pro® has been validated in a study to predict patient response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in lung cancer, demonstrating its potential to significantly improve treatment outcomes by potentially tripling response rates and doubling survival rates.
