April 21st 2026 | Cajal Neuroscience Center, CNC-CSIC – Alcalá de Henares, Madrid

Understanding the brain requires more than just identifying genes—it demands insight into how molecular activity is organized across space. Recent advances in spatial transcriptomics and multiomic technologies are transforming neuroscience by enabling researchers to map gene expression within the complex architecture of the brain.

Join us for an exclusive event where experts will explore how cutting-edge spatial technologies are being used to unravel brain function and disease mechanisms. This session will highlight innovative approaches that integrate discovery and targeted spatial analysis, offering new perspectives on neural organization and pathology.

Why Attend?

  • Discover how spatial transcriptomics is reshaping neuroscience research
  • Learn from real-world applications and expert case studies
  • Explore integrated multiomic approaches to brain biology
  • Connect with specialists and discuss your own research challenges
