Description

The Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS) within Newcastle University conducts significant discovery and clinical research on human tissue (healthy and diseased) as well as tissues from other relevant biological models. As part of an MRC equipment award, the University is seeking to purchase a technology that can measure multiple RNAs on various tissues sub-cellular spatial resolution. Due to the nature and complexity of the biological/clinical questions, the system must be able to detect a minimum of 1000 expressed genes on the same tissue/cell sample. Such a platform will underpin existing work by the FMS Biomedical Research Facilities including, Flow Cytometry, Bioimaging, Genomics, Human Developmental Biology Resource (HDBR) and other single cell technologies.
