Biological systems are composed of numerous cell types, intricately organized to form functional tissues and organs. While recent advancements in genomics technologies have made it possible to characterize cell types through careful analysis of the transcriptome, they are unable to resolve how gene expression and cell types are spatially arranged. In this presentation, we introduce you to Vizgen’s all-in-one in situ genomics platform MERSCOPE, which enables the direct profiling of the spatial organization of intact tissue with genomic scale
throughput. The instrument, the MERFISH chemistry and use cases will be presented as well.

Florent Ginhoux is graduated in Biochemistry from the University Pierre et Marie CURIE (UPMC), Paris VI, obtained a Masters degree in Immunology from the Pasteur Institute in 2000 and his PhD in 2004 from UPMC, Paris VI. As a postdoctoral fellow, he joined the Laboratory of Miriam Merad in the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM), New York, where he studied the ontogeny and the homeostasis of cutaneous dendritic cell populations, with a strong focus on Langerhans cells and Microglia. In 2008, he became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Gene and Cell Medicine, MSSM and member of the Immunology Institute of MSSM. He joined the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN), A*STAR in May 2009 as a Junior Principal Investigator and became Senior Principal Investigator in 2014. He joined the EMBO Young Investigator (YIP) program in 2013 and is a Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher since 2016. He is also an Adjunct Visiting Associate Professor in the Shanghai Immunology Institute, Jiao Tong University, in Shanghai, China since 2015 and Adjunct Associate Professor in the Translational Immunology Institute, SingHealth and Duke NUS, Singapore since 2016. He is now a Laboratory Director in Gustave Roussy focusing on pediatric cancers and the role of myeloid cells in tumor progression and became an EMBO member in 2022.
«Ensemble, repoussons les limites»
«En à peine 20 ans, l'Institut de Recherche en Cancérologie de Montpellier (IRCM U1194) a su hisser sa recherche au meilleur niveau international dans le domaine de la cancérologie fondamentale et appliquée, recherche réalisée en étroite collaboration avec les services cliniques du Centre de Lutte Contre le Cancer de Montpellier (ICM: l’Institut du Cancer de Montpellier ), et des partenaires industriels. Sous la tutelle conjointe de l'Inserm, de l'ICM et de l'Université de Montpellier, l'IRCM rassemble aujourd'hui plus de 240 personnes, chercheurs, cliniciens, techniciens et étudiants, organisés en 16 équipes de recherche qui s'appuient sur des plateaux techniques performants et des services de soutien compétents. Dans un domaine de recherche extrêmement compétitif et en évolution toujours plus rapide, notre plus grand défi est de garder une longueur d’avance. Pour cela nous continuerons à structurer la recherche sur le cancer à Montpellier, à rechercher l’excellence et à accélérer l’innovation et le transfert au patient pour in fine contribuer à vaincre les innombrables formes différentes de cancer. Ensemble, repoussons les limites.»
