Webinar: The Spatial Biology Week™

Discover. Translate. Validate. Your journey through multiplex spatial biology starts here.

Join researchers, clinicians, and industry innovators from around the world for The Spatial Biology Week™ 2026, a five-day virtual event designed to guide you through the full spectrum of spatial biology, from entry-level adoption to advanced translational and clinical applications.

Each day offers a focused deep dive into a major pillar of modern spatial research, bringing together thought leaders who are actively shaping the future of the field.

Whether you're just beginning your spatial journey or pushing the boundaries of spatial multiomics, this week provides the knowledge, inspiration, and community you need to accelerate your work.

Session title: Entering the spatial era: moving to high-plex, automated spatial biology

From single- to multiplex: stepping into the future of spatial biology

Session description: 

Start the week with the essential foundations of high-plex spatial biology. Learn how labs are transitioning from traditional IHC/IF to automated, scalable multiplexed assays and what it takes to ensure robust, reproducible results. With dedicated sessions on assay transferability, panel design, workflow optimization, and automation, this day is the perfect onboarding experience for newcomers and a valuable refresher for advanced users.

Session title: Discovery in action: spatial immunology and inflammation

Uncovering immune landscapes: spatial biology across tissues and diseases

Session description: 

Explore how spatial biology is transforming our understanding of inflammation and immune regulation across multiple diseases and tissue types. From immune niches and chronic inflammation to infection biology and tumor immune responses, this day highlights the power of spatial approaches to reveal mechanisms that remain invisible with conventional methods. If your research intersects with immunity in any context, this is your discovery day.

Session title: Discovery in action: neurobiology and neuro-oncology

Charting the CNS: spatial insights into brain health, disease, and tumors

Session description: 

Dive into the complexity of the central nervous system with sessions dedicated to neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, and brain tumors. Learn how spatial technologies are decoding neuron–glia communication, mapping disease progression, and illuminating the tumor microenvironment in neuro-oncology. This day is designed for neuroscientists, cancer researchers, and anyone tackling high-complexity tissues.

Session title: Translational insights: biopharma applications

From signatures to solutions: spatial biology in therapeutic development

Session description: 

Discover how spatial biology is accelerating translational research and advancing therapeutic pipelines and. This day focuses on validating transcriptomic signatures in situ, integrating protein/RNA co-detection, and building spatial biomarkers that support patient stratification and accelerate pre-clinical and clinical decision-making. If you work in drug development, biomarker discovery, or translational R&D, this day delivers the insights that matter most.

Session: Applied validation: diagnostic panels and biomarkers

Making it matter: spatial biology in diagnostic and clinical contexts

Session description: 

The week concludes with a practical look at spatial validation in real-world settings. Learn from clinicians and translational researchers implementing spatial assays for diagnostic panel development, disease classification, and clinical interpretation. See how spatial biology is moving out of exploratory research and into clinical impact.
