If you’re working with spatial data (or planning to), a quick heads-up on a few upcoming VIB activities that might be interesting to attend:
Two hands-on days focused on actually working with targeted spatial transcriptomics data (e.g. Xenium). You’ll go from raw data into the SPArrOW/Harpy pipeline (from the Saeys lab), covering segmentation, clustering and spatial visualisation — very much aimed
at understanding what’s going on under the hood, not just clicking buttons. Registration open until 2 March.
A one-day follow-up that shifts the focus from RNA to proteins. Same Harpy framework, but now applied to multiplex imaging data: segmentation, marker quantification and cell type annotation, with plenty of discussion on how to judge data quality and biological
relevance. Registration open until 4 March.
Three days fully dedicated to spatial omics, with a nice balance between unimodal approaches (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) and genuinely multimodal integration. Strong mix of methods, computation and biology, plus a good chance to catch up with
people across VIB and beyond. Abstract deadline is 20 April.
Looking forward to welcoming you at one of these events.
Best regards,
Alex
