Joint UGI-CBER funding to develop interdisciplinary tools for spatial biology and ecology modelling

The Transforming Research Technologies pump priming grant (£225,000) will provide 1 year of funding to develop new ecology-inspired methods for spatial omics to decode tissue organisation, cell-cell interactions and predict system resilience upon perturbation. These tools will be widely applicable across different areas of biology, including plant and animal development, immunology, disease, etc, and will also feed back into ecology applications.
