Statistical Bioinformatics Webinar: Pape -- Spatial Transcriptomics Meets Microscopy: Image Analysis and Visualization

Presented by Prof.  Dr.  Constantin Pape (University of Gottingen, Germany) 

Morphology, gene expression and cellular dynamics are three fundamental observable
modalities used to study cells.  Recent advances in spatial transcriptomics and
microscopy enable joint recording of all three and promise to further our understanding
of cellular processes.  However, this requires the analysis of large and diverse
datasets - a challenging task, especially due to the different foundational methods
across communities with expertise in sequence and image analysis.  Challenges and
solutions to image analysis and visualization for joint transcriptomics and microscopy
will be discussed, based on a collaborative project to map the transcriptome during
early mouse embryo development.
