New technologies are providing spatial context for cells and their marker genes at ever-higher scale, sensitivity, and resolution. In the brain, where cellular organization is of utmost importance, these methods are enabling researchers to ask new kinds of questions and tackle the toughest problems in biology.

This GenomeWeb report is based on a virtual roundtable sponsored by ACD that discussed using new technologies that provide spatial context for cells and their marker genes to investigate brain tissue and illuminate the mechanisms behind brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia.

The presenters on this panel were:

• Omer Bayraktar, Ph.D., Group Lead at Sanger Wellcome
• Gregory Carter, Ph.D., Associate Professor, The Bernard and Lusia Milch Endowed Chair at The Jackson Laboratory
• Wei-Ting Chen, Ph.D., Staff Scientist at KU Leuven
• Kristen Maynard, Ph.D., Research Scientist at Lieber Institute for Brain Development
