Single Cell and Spatial Omics Symposium
Single Cell and Spatial Omics Symposium (DPBM-161) on March-12, 2026, in Biomedicum Helsinki Lecture hall 1.
Speakers: Ralf Jungmann (Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry), Allon Klein (Harvard Medical School), Ernst Lengyel (University of Chicago), Ana Martin-Villalba (German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Nikolaus Rajewsky (Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine) and Maria Secrier (University College London) will present their work, in addition to national speakers Daniela Ungureanu (University of Oulu) and Helena Kilpinen (University of Helsinki). Program, including lunch, and a poster session with sparkling, begins at 9 AM and ends at around 5:30 PM. The symposium is on-site only, free of charge and everybody is warmly welcome to register by Feb-26, or until fully booked.
The poster session is an excellent opportunity to present and discuss your project involving single-cell and/or spatial omics. For students, presenting a poster provides one additional study credit. When registering, please provide a tentative poster title, and be prepared to give a one-slide, 30-second poster teaser during the symposium.
