The project will enable high-resolution multiomic analysis within intact 3D samples.Bio-Techne's current multiomic spatial biology technologies deliver unparalleled insights in 2D, enabling breakthroughs in disease research and therapeutic development. The Wyss initiative aims to extend these capabilities into 3D, unlocking an even deeper understanding of tissue structure and cellular interactions.The partnership seeks to overcome the limitations of traditional approaches and manual processes, which often restrict the ability to capture the true complexity of biological systems. By automating multiomic analysis in 3D using thicker sections, this innovation has the potential to accelerate drug discovery, enhance diagnostic development, and reduce dependence on animal models by advancing organoid research and broader AI-driven predictive modeling, expanding both scientific progress and ethical research practices.\"3D multiomics will greatly enhance spatial insights gathering in the future, with the power to transform how we understand biology. However, to unlock its full impact, we must make it accessible to every researcher, everywhere. Partnering with Bio-Techne is an extraordinary opportunity to turn that ambition into reality,\" said Dr. Stéphane Pages, Director of Neuroimaging at Wyss Geneva.\"This collaboration reflects Bio-Techne's commitment to advancing spatial biology through meaningful partnerships and cutting-edge technology,\" sai...
