Spatial Technologies Unit

Harvard Medical School Initiative for RNA Medicine

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

Our Mission

The STU has been established to render cutting-edge spatial and single cell technologies accessible to all, as well as to provide expertise, training, and education, to  academia and industry.

By colocalizing spatial technologies with extensive supportive equipment (NGS, tissue processing, imaging, bioinformatics) the STU can provide specialized or A-Z spatial and single cell services, enabling researchers to focus on science and discovery.

A worldwide race has started for incorporation of spatial technologies into research, innovation, diagnostics and drug development

Dr. Frank Slack, Director of the HMS Initiative for RNA Medicine
For the first time, scientists across the state now have the opportunity to answer fundamental questions about how and where cells respond to diseases, such as viral infection, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease
Dr. Winston Hide, Director of the Precision RNA Medicine Core
Spatial Technologies are the new frontier in biomedical research, and we expect them to expand and potentially rewrite our understanding of human pathologies. Our mission is to make them more accessible, enabling multidisciplinary innovation to develop novel treatments and diagnostics
Dr. Ioannis Vlachos, Director of the Spatial Technologies Unit
