vizgen case study
Revolutionizing genomics with cutting-edge technologies that reveal the spatial organization of genes within tissues.
The client
Vizgen
Vizgen specializes in spatial genomics, a cutting-edge field that maps gene expression directly within intact tissues at single-cell resolution. Their core technology, MERFISH (Multiplexed Error-Robust Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization), allows researchers to visualize and quantify hundreds to thousands of RNA molecules simultaneously, all while preserving the spatial organization of cells.
Unlike traditional sequencing, which loses the context of where genes are active, Vizgen’s platform provides detailed maps showing which genes are expressed, in which cells, and exactly where those cells are located in the tissue. This is crucial for understanding complex biological systems like tumors, the brain, or developing organs.
By combining MERFISH with high-resolution imaging and powerful data analysis, Vizgen offers researchers unprecedented insight into cellular behavior, tissue structure, and disease mechanisms.
