Next Generation Tools for Spatial Tissue Genomics by Dr. Fei Chen
Recording of the meeting held on March 9th 2022
Summary
Dr. Fei is a core faculty member at the Broad Institute and an assistant professor in the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard University.
Dr. Fei co-invented Expansion Microscopy, which is a technique that allows for super-resolution like imaging using normal light microscopes. Dr. Fei’s lab now develops new technologies for spatial genomics and has made multiple seminal contributions in the area of spatial transcriptomics and spatial genomics. Dr. Fei was awarded the NIH Director’s Early Independence Award and the Allen Distinguished Investigator Award.
Dr. Fei will talks about Next Generation tools for spatial tissue genomics, particularly spatial DNA sequencing which is critical in understanding cancer evolution.
