Promotional graphic for an event titled “Advanced Imaging and Spatial ‘Omics Methods.” The top banner is blue with white text and a white microscope icon on the right. Below, a microscopy image background shows numerous purple and blue fluorescent cells on a black background. Centered white text reads “June 24, 2026” and “UMass Chan Medical School.” A gray horizontal bar across the middle states “SCOPE Imaging Applications and Technology Workshop,” with “RNATx 2026” displayed below in bold black text.

SCOPE is pleased to introduce the inaugural Advanced Microscopy and Spatial ‘Omics Methods Workshop, presented in partnership with the 8th Annual International RNA Therapeutics Symposium (RNATx). This workshop is designed to bring together leading scientists and industry partners to showcase recent research and cutting-edge technologies that are advancing the RNA field.

This Workshop will focus specifically on microscopy and spatial omics and will align with a keynote presentation by Dr. Xiaowei Zhuang, PhD, of Harvard University, co-inventor of MERFISH. Hosting the workshop on the same day as this keynote session is intended to attract an audience with strong interest in advanced imaging and spatial transcriptomics technologies.

We invite you to join us for the inaugural year of this focused scientific program. In this 90-minute workshop, scientists will present their latest discoveries, highlighting innovative applications in advanced microscopy and spatial 'omics. Each scientific presentation will be followed by a focused technical talk from one of our sponsors.

If you are interested in either presenting your recent work or want more information about sponsoring the workshop, please email SCOPE director Dr.Christina Baer: christina.baer@umassmed.edu
