We offer a comprehensive pathologist-led spatial biology service comprising spatial proteomic, transcriptomic, and multiomic experimental design, including platform and panel selection, assay development, image acquisition, and digital image processing. The facility houses 2x Ventana Discovery Ultra autostainers, 2x 10 x Genomics Xenium platforms, a Lunaphore COMET, an Akoya PhenoImager, an Akoya PhenoCycler, an Olympus VS200 slide scanner and a Visiopharm image analysis suite. Our multidisciplinary team of pathologists, histologists and expert technicians partner closely with basic scientists to deliver optimal data, to provide training in image analysis, and to answer scientific questions.

Beatson Advanced Imaging Resource scientists work closely with researchers to uncover and interrogate important molecular pathways in cancer. We train scientists in all stages of modern microscopical research from advice on experimental design and sample preparation, basic and advanced microscope operation and data acquisition through to quantitative image analysis and interpretation.
