PRE-CONFERENCE FOCUS DAY
12:00 – 14:00Workshop A
Introduction to Spatial Biology & Applications: Fundamentals, Insights, & Workflow Integration
Synopsis
This workshop is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to spatial biology and its applications, making it accessible to attendees with varying levels of familiarity with the field. From fundamental concepts to real-world applications in oncology, this workshop aims to equip participants with a solid foundation and insights into the integration of spatial biology into research workflows, with a focus on translational applications. A perfect start to ensure you get the most out of your three-day summit!
This workshop will gather experts to:
• Deep-dive into the pros and cons of the multitude of technologies currently on offer to help you cut through the noise
• Explore the current applications and use cases of spatial biology in immuno-oncology research as well as drug development
• Discuss the integration of spatial biology techniques into research workflows, particularly in translational research settings
15:00 – 16:30Speed Learning
Synopsis
To fully harness Spatial Biology for Immuno-Oncology research, discussions must be held to overcome some of the biggest challenges.
In this quick-fire session, you have the opportunity to choose a table, each hosted by a spatial biology expert who will lead the conversation on one of these topics, then move on to the next, allowing you to discuss ideas in each area:
- Fundamentals of spatial data analysis
- Acquiring samples
- Lessons Learned from the last year – how have you harnessed spatial biology?
- The future of spatial – will it revolutionize research or be another research tool?
