Explore the technologies and strategies enabling spatial biology to scale across larger studies, research programmes and clinical development. The spotlight will cover spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, high-plex imaging and multimodal integration, with a focus on standardised, reproducible workflows.

Industry experts will share practical approaches to applying spatial technologies across discovery, translational research, biomarker development and clinical studies. The session will close with an interactive discussion on overcoming challenges around scalability, data analysis, reproducibility and integration as spatial biology becomes an increasingly established part of drug development.  

  • Scale Spatial Technologies – Explore practical approaches for moving from individual experiments to larger, repeatable research programmes
  • Integrate Spatial & Multimodal Data – Discover how spatial transcriptomics, proteomics and imaging can be combined to generate deeper biological insight
  • Bridge Research & Clinical Development – Learn how spatial approaches are being applied across biomarker discovery, translational research and clinical studies

This is your chance to see the latest tools in action, understand their real-world impact, and leave with practical takeaways to apply in your own research.
