Award for developing an AI-assisted laser capture microscope for genome-wide single cell spatial transcriptomics, funded by NHGRI.
Description
This project aims to develop an AI-Assisted Laser Capture Microdissection (AI-LCM) approach for spatial transcriptomics, combining microscopy, NGS, and LCM to enable high-throughput, comprehensive spatial transcriptomics analysis with true single-cell resolution and genome-wide coverage. The project is funded by NHGRI and involves the University of California-Irvine.
