Webinar

Spatial transcriptomics in action: a case study from human reproductive development

In this webinar, we will present a study published in December 2025, where spatial transcriptomics, single-cell RNA-seq, and chromatin accessibility data were combined to build a multi-omic, spatiotemporal atlas of the developing human reproductive tract. We will highlight how spatial methods (including in situ sequencing and Visium) were integrated with single-cell data to refine cell-type definitions, resolve tissue patterning and differentiation, and uncover developmental regulators that inform both basic biology and potential targets for reproductive health applications.  

This event is part of a broader webinar series on spatial transcriptomics. For more information about the series and its webinars, please visit the following link: “Decoding spatial transcriptomics through sequences, pixels, and bioinformatics”.

Who is this course for?

Computational biologists, molecular biologists, developmental biologists, and clinicians seeking practical and conceptual insight into spatial transcriptomics workflows and interpretation.

Outcomes

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Interpret spatially resolved gene expression within a tissue context, using a real, high-impact case study from prenatal human reproductive tract development.

  • Discuss practical strategies for integrating spatial data with dissociated scRNA-seq data
