Live Session:

Bridging the Discovery-to-Translational Gap in Spatial Biology

Oct 21, 2025
9:00 am PDT / 12:00 pm EDT

Speakers:
Zhihong Chen, PhD
CTO, OCCAM Immune, at Icahn School of Medicine,
Mount Sinai Hospital, New York

Tad George, PhD
Sr VP Bio R&D, RareCyte

Spatial biology is uncovering new biomarker candidates, yet a major challenge remains: how to move from broad high-plex discovery to clinically relevant panels suitable for translational and clinical research workflows.

Join this interactive live session for direct Q&A with two spatial biology experts and see how capturing more channels per imaging round enables you to perform high-plex discovery, then streamline to single-round panels optimized for large cohort studies.

We’re excited to welcome Zhihong Chen, Ph.D., CTO of OCCAM Immune, Icahn School of Medicine, as our guest speaker. Dr. Chen will discuss how to design effective multiplex panels for clinical and translational research, integrate Orion imaging with complementary multi-omics datasets, and apply approaches for large-scale data analysis and interpretation.

Join us for a discussion on:

• What clinical insights researchers are gaining from spatial biology studies
• The top challenges to implementing spatial biology in translational and clinical settings
• How Orion supports a seamless path from discovery panels to single-round clinical panels

This interactive format lets attendees ask questions live and learn how Orion is being applied in translational research today.

Exploring new frontiers in pancreatic cancer treatment with spatial biology

Speakers:
Yana Zavros, PhD
Professor, University of Georgia School of Medicine

Tad George, PhD
Sr VP Bio R&D, RareCyte

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest cancers, with limited treatment options and a high recurrence rate. Emerging research suggests that the tumor microenvironment (TME) and metastatic site play a critical role in therapy response. In this webinar, Yana Zavros will discuss how she combined spatial biology and patient-derived organoids (PDOs) to uncover a distinct cell population driving therapy resistance and disease recurrence in PDAC.

Topics to be covered:

• Mapping the TME across metastatic sites to guide treatment strategies
• Using spatial biology and PDOs to identify therapy-resistant cell populations in PDAC 
• An introduction to high throughput multiplex immunofluorescence for TME characterization

Breaking Barriers in Spatial Proteomics with Single-Round Imaging

Speaker
Tad George, PhD
Sr VP Bio R&D, RareCyte

Explore how the Orion Spatial Imager is transforming spatial proteomics with high-throughput, single-round imaging—eliminating the need for cycling and improving image quality. Unlike traditional multiplex immunofluorescence systems that require iterative staining and imaging, Orion delivers 18 plex in a single scan, streamlining workflows and accelerating discoveries.

In this webinar, you'll get an in-depth look at Orion’s capabilities, a walkthrough of its single-round workflow, and customer case studies showcasing key applications. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how Orion is setting a new standard in spatial proteomics.

Accelerating Data and Throughput in Spatial Imaging: A Core Facility Perspective.

Speaker
Zbigniew Mikulski, PhD
Director of Microscopy and Instructor, La Jolla Institute for Immunology

In this webinar, Dr. Mikulski will share best practices from working on over 18 different projects, and how the Orion platform for spatial biology facilitated a fast, low run cost solution that works with FFPE samples. Dr. Mikulski will also discuss practices that other labs might adopt to further improve workflow efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
