A spatial approach to neuroimmunology
We have established a new resource at the Byrd Institute to further our understanding of neuroimmune function and provide advanced spatial and cellular analyses to our research community. The center for spatial biology and neuroimmunology leverages cutting-edge techniques and equipment in spatial transcriptomics, super-resolution microscopy, in vivo imaging, and cellular immunology to support and promote scientific discovery.
