Description

Investigating biological processes in tissues by spatial profiling. This project will establish a new system for spatial profiling of protein and gene activity in tissues to advance research in the life-sciences. Spatial profiling enables more refined understanding of biological processes in tissues by recognising patterns of gene expression and proteins at defined tissue locations. This addresses the limitations of conventional gene and protein profiling methods that produce averaged data which fails to consider the discrete spatial organisation that occurs within tissues. The project will support investigators from numerous disciplines of molecular biosciences, neuroscience, bioengineering, plant biology and bioinformatics and train the next generation of research students in this technology.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 0601 - Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Lead: Prof Mark Molloy
