What's Happening?
Stellaromics has announced the expansion of its Pyxa™ 3D spatial transcriptomics beta program with the installation of its system at Emory University School of Medicine. This marks the third site for the beta program, following successful deployments
at the University of Glasgow and the University of California, Irvine. The Pyxa system will be used by Dr. Hailing Shi and her team to study RNA regulation in the human brain and neurodegenerative diseases, leveraging high-resolution 3D spatial biology to advance understanding of brain function and disease.
Why It's Important?
The installation of the Pyxa system at Emory University represents a significant advancement in the field of spatial biology, providing researchers with powerful tools to explore the complexities of the brain at a cellular level. This technology has the potential to uncover new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, paving the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. The collaboration with Emory University also highlights the growing importance of interdisciplinary research in addressing complex biological questions.
