Hear from Jasmine Plummer, one of our top speakers, as she shares her views on key questions regarding spatial biology & omics

Hopes for the Future

"I am very excited about the next few years because I think we are only in the toddler stages of spatial biology. Many detection methods have are highly curated on breast cancer and I look forward to seeing these expand to all cancer types especially pediatric cancers. And even more importantly to other diseases and developmental context of how these diseases start."

Driving Force Behind Spatial Biology & Omics Recent Traction

"I think the driving force behind the traction is that the technology in spatial biology is catching up to a genomics scale level of data. For the first time, it begins to bridge the gap of genomicists that have been looking/playing with single cell data and pathologists/anatomists/cell biology who have been looking at how proteins/RNA work in the context of intact tissue."

Will Spatial Biology & Omics Become More Prominent in Therapeutic Areas?

"I truly believe this is the case given all cancers are largely diagnosed by pathologists taking biopsies/sections of tissue and looking to see what type of growth it is. If we can see it, we can have a better view of where it is located, why the treatment is or isn’t working, and better discovery tools for new therapies."

Hopes for the Conference

"My hope from this conference is that all participants will gain knowledge as to the current state of affairs in spatial biology and how it applies to their specific scientific questions while also having an awareness to the challenges in the field and the limitations in the technology to date."

Hear from Jasmine Plummer, one of our top speakers, as she shares her views on key questions regarding spatial biology & omics

2023 Goals

"One of my current goals is to evaluate spatial technologies and provide metrics for the community. To build a leading center for spatial biology, in which the vast patient samples at St Jude’s are a biological resource for the scientific community to aid discovery in the tissues themselves, most relevant to better detections and treatments."
