New Core Opens
Friday, June 27, 2025
Understanding the makeup of cells and their interactions is essential for interpreting biological processes in organs and tissues. Single-cell sequencing allows researchers to determine individual cell types and functions; spatial technologies place those cells in their original tissue context, providing deeper insights.
The new Spatial and Genome Technologies Core recently launched as part of the UIC Research Resources Center. The core offers advanced spatial and single-cell technologies, including the Chromium, Visium and Xenium platforms from 10X Genomics.
“We're able to look at the individual cell level, which allows us to answer a ton of different questions that researchers have,” said the core's director Melissa Leone.
