WELCOME to the First MULTI-SPACE Symposium!

Interested in incorporating spatial omics into your research? Discover what is possible here in Heidelberg and learn how to implement spatial transcriptomics, spatial proteomics, spatial metabolomics, or multi-modal approaches by connecting with the MULTI-SPACE team at this in-person event.

The MULTI-SPACE Symposium brings together researchers to explore the full spectrum of spatial biology technologies available within the MULTI-SPACE platform. The event aims to showcase current offerings across spatial modalities, providing insight into the capabilities of each facility, and to guide technology selection for specific scientific questions. Attendees will gain clear information on accessibility, standard workflows, and contact points for each service.

The symposium also seeks to foster cross-modality exchange and partnerships, including collaborations for upcoming grant applications, while identifying unmet needs or missing technologies—ultimately driving innovation and integrative approaches in spatial biology research.

We are looking forward to your registration !
