The Festival of Genomics & Biodata
Discover more with innovative spatial, single-cell, and long-read technologies!

The 2025 Festival of Genomics & Biodata happened June 24–25 in Boston, MA, and brought together key stakeholders in omics fields to address important issues encountered in genomics, single-cell biology, spatial biology, multiomics, proteomics, biodata, cancer research, drug discovery, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and more. At the meeting, we shared our novel solutions that drive biomarker discovery and gave a talk.
Featured talk
A new class of single-cell spatial multiomics
In this talk, we discussed Trekker technology—a new class of spatial technology designed to acquire spatial and single-cell data in a single experiment. Current spatial technologies sacrifice sensitivity compared to single-cell workflows, and challenges with cell segmentation and deconvolution lead to low confidence in resolution. Trekker technology overcomes these challenges by enabling high-sensitivity and high-resolution data acquisition without capital equipment requirements.

More cells. More biomarkers. More discoveries.
