Description
Are you interested in leveling up your papers and grants with spatial transcriptomics? Then look no further than the ASI System Immunology Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis Workshop!
Spatial transcriptomics offer an exceptional level of detail, but analysing and interpreting such complex information is challenging. This workshop is designed to introduce both foundational and advanced analytical workflows, applicable to your own data or publicly available datasets. The day will be divided into two hands-on sessions, where participants will actively engage with the material. Attendees are expected to have a basic understanding of R, including how to install/load libraries, set working directories, and use functions.
The first workshop will provide an introduction to using publicly available Visium datasets to enhance papers and grant proposals with qualitative analyses. Participants will learn how to identify datasets relevant to their research, download and process the data, and visualise the results. The goal is for attendees to confidently apply this workflow to their own research projects.
The second workshop will focus on more advanced topics, offering an overview of various spatial transcriptomic technologies and quantitative analysis methods. Participants will work with sub-cellular datasets (Xenium and STomics) to demonstrate the powerful insights that spatial transcriptomic data can provide.
This event will be in-person on 22nd November, the Friday before the annual ASI meeting. It will be held in the McKenzie room (level 6), Charles Perkins Centre, The University of Sydney. Lunch and afternoon networking are included.
Spots are limited to 30 attendees.
Please bring your own laptop to use during the sessions. We will contact attendees prior to the workshop with a list of R packages you will need to install.
