Hear directly from researchers at leading Polish institutions, including the Medical University of Lodz, University of Warsaw, Wroclaw Medical University, Medical University of Bialystok, Warsaw University of Technology, and the Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Institute of Oncology, as they share how Chromium, Visium HD, and Xenium are driving discoveries across oncology, neuroscience, immunology, reproductive biology, and hematology.
Program highlights include spatial profiling of the tumor microenvironment in sarcoma and chordoma, single-cell insights into chemotherapy response in breast cancer, high-resolution spatial analysis of the ovary, tracing hematopoietic lineages with single-cell multiomics, and tracking immune responses to phage therapy.
The day also features expert talks from 10x Genomics scientists on the power of Xenium data and the Chromium Flex assay, plus plenty of time to connect with peers over coffee and lunch.
