Webinar 2: Spatial analysis for precision medicine and disease biology
Thursday 15th September 2022 at 3pm BST/ 4pm CET/ 10am EST
Dissecting the molecular information of diseases has been enabling granular understanding of the biological processes behind disease formation, and uncovering clues to treatment options. The precision that spatial analysis provides can be harnessed as a tool for biomarker discovery.
In this webinar, we examine how spatial technologies are being utilised to support drug discovery efforts and whether this type of analysis could hold the key to unlocking the next era of precision medicine.
