Spatial transcriptomics with Dr Patrick CN Martin

In today's episode I spoke again to Dr Patrick CN Martin from the
Biotech research and innovation centre at the University of
Copenhagen, about spatial transcriptomics. Patrick is a post
doctoral researcher who has been working on ST and more
specifically, this pre print which we also took a deep dive into,
on todays episode! Patricks new tool, named Vesalius (stay tuned
to find out why) is able to decipher tissue anatomy from ST data
by converting transcriptomic information into a color code for
image segmentation. 


The tool is able to successfully detect tissue architecture in
mouse embryo and brain from high resolution ST data by
incorporating image processing algorithms. Vesalius is a tool to
perform high-resolution in silico anatomization and molecular
characterization from ST data. 


If like me, you feel unclear on what exactly is ST and how it
works, stay tuned to learn lots! Even if you do know what ST is,
don't worry! once Patrick taught me all about ST, we took a deep
dive into the pre print, and discussed so many interesting
topics.
