10x Genomics’ Visium HD selected by TechBio startup Cure51

10x Genomics (TXG) and French TechBio startup Cure51 announced that Cure51 will deploy 10x Genomics’ Visium HD as part of its pioneering work to understand the unique biology of exceptional cancer survivors, whose survival mechanisms could hold the key to new therapeutic approaches. Working alongside more than 50 medical institutions, Cure51 intends to collect and analyze tumor tissues from over 1,000 exceptional cancer survivors across 40 countries in the next 18 months. 10x Genomics’ Visium HD assay, launched earlier this year, enables researchers to perform whole transcriptome spatial gene expression analysis at single cell-scale resolution. The assay will enable Cure51’s scientific and biocomputational teams and partners to generate spatial molecular profiling of tumor samples at single cell-scale resolution and gain insights into the complex interactions between the tumor cells and their microenvironment.
