Spatial omics is a field of study that combines molecular profiling, such as genomics, transcriptomics or proteomics, with spatial information to map where different molecules are located within cells in complex tissues. It provides important, detailed insights into how a disease develops and progresses at the cellular level, aiding the advancement of precise diagnostics and targeted treatments, a major focus of CHOP’s translational research.
This process allows researchers to study a broad range of complex diseases, such...
