Congratulations to Dr. Yuqing Li on his MBI Spatial Transcriptomics Award!
Dr. Li’s project ” Striatal microcircuitry in a novel overt DYT1 dystonia mouse models” was one of 11 projects that have been selected for an MBI Spatial Transcriptomics Pilot Award, designed to promote innovative research that uses spatial transcriptomics in mouse and human tissue models through the MBI’s new Cellular and Molecular Core.
“Spatial transcriptomics allows us to see gene activity in the context of tissue architecture, which is incredibly powerful for neuroscience,” said MBI Associate Director of Innovation Ramon Sun, Ph.D. “These pilot awards are meant to help MBI investigators adapt to new technologies and generate initial datasets that can grow into larger projects, publications and future grants.”
