About the Workshop

ISB is hosting a free one-day Spatial Multi-Omics for Cancer Systems Biology virtual workshop. This virtual workshop will consist of four sessions on topics including: experimental methods, computational algorithms, applications of spatial multi-omics and a practical methods tutorial. The workshop will include the use of Jupyter notebooks and GitHub software to teach computational spatial multi-omics data analysis. The intended audience is graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, industry scientists, and educators.
