About the webinar

Developmental biology seeks to document the path from embryo to organism, where cell-to-cell interactions and the spatial organization of tissues influence developmental mechanisms. Consequently, researchers employ spatial biology techniques to better understand human development and disease.

In this webinar, Xiaofei Li and Stefania Giacomello discuss the methods they use to acquire spatial information about human spinal cord development and host-microbe interactions.

Topics to be covered:

• Using single-cell and spatial omics techniques to generate a developmental cell atlas of the human spinal cord
• Employing new spatial approaches to study host-microbiome and host-pathogen interactions
