WEBINAR
Transform Your Spatial Biology Workflow
Learn, Apply, and Scale with Stereo-seq
Spatial transcriptomics is a transformative new approach that maps gene expression within the native tissue context, offering unprecedented insights into disease mechanisms, tissue architecture, and cellular interactions. In this webinar, we’ll explore the power of Stereo-seq. This sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics platform delivers whole-transcriptome analysis at true single-cell resolution, without the need for custom probe design.
Our session will begin with an overview of the Stereo-seq technology, presented by Dr. Yongfu Wang of Complete Genomics, highlighting how this innovative platform is redefining what’s possible in spatial biology. Next, Dr. Zehuan Liao from Johns Hopkins University, our spatial grant winner, will share how he aims to use Stereo-seq technology to explore the underlying mechanisms of cortical metabolic dysregulation in spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 (SCA12) pathogenesis. Finally, Dr. Xiao Yin Ma from Admera Health will walk us through a streamlined workflow for Stereo-seq—from sample to analysis—making high-resolution spatial biology more accessible than ever.

From Broad Insights to Cellular Precision: Dr. Liao’s Vision for Understanding Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 12 (SCA12) with Stereo-seq
Zehuan Liao, PhD
Research Fellow, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Zehuan Liao currently investigates the impact of gene mutations on human health using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and mouse models. His research highlights metabolic dysregulation in cortical brain regions as a key factor in SCA12 pathogenesis, laying the groundwork for potential new therapeutic strategies. During his talk, he will highlight how Stereo-seq will enable him to elucidate molecular mechanisms of spinocerebellar ataxia type 12.
