The Summer of Science grant program sponsored by the Center for Quantitative Biology, 10x Genomics and Illumina

10x Genomics, Illumina and the Center for Quantitative Biology are excited to collaborate on a grant program for innovative research at Dartmouth College

We are pleased to announce the 10x Genomics Visium Spatial Grant Program. The proposed pilot project must use one of these applications from 10x Genomics and utilize Illumina sequencing:

• Visium CytAssist Spatial Gene Expression for FFPE

Uncover the “Where” for every “What” when you map the location of gene expression in tissue

The relationship between cells and their relative locations within a tissue sample can be critical to understanding disease pathology. Visium is a groundbreaking spatial transcriptomics technology that allows scientists to measure all the gene activity in a tissue section and map where the activity is occurring. Already, this technology is leading to new discoveries that will prove instrumental in helping scientists gain a better understanding of biological processes and disease.

Challenge Details

Submit an abstract (max 300 words) proposing a pilot research project that uses one of the aforementioned solutions from 10x Genomics. A 10x Genomics and the Center for Quantitative Biology committee will review and select winners based on research creativity and innovation.

Applicants must hold primary research positions at Dartmouth College and must be planning to submit a grant application to support a broader research aim for which they need pilot data. Applicants may not hold current awards directly related to the proposed research.
