Spatialomics Interest Group Meeting (1/24)
Researcher Spatialomic Presentation
Presenter: Miranda E. Orr, PhD - Wake Forest University School of Medicine Assistant Professor, Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine
The UMN Spatialomics Interested Group is honored to bring you a presentation by special guest
Dr. Miranda E. Orr. Dr. Orr is an Assistant Professor of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine at
the Wake Forest University School of Medicine where her research focuses on the molecular
mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease and the effects of tau accumulation on cellular senescence
and risk for chronic neurodegenerative diseases.
Join us on Tuesday, January 24 th at 10AM CST where Dr. Orr will talk about her experience
using the Nanostring CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager to study spatially resolve transcripts of
interest.
Date: Tuesday, January 24th, 2023
Time: 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Format: Zoom

CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager
CosMx SMI is the first high-plex in situ analysis platform to provide spatial multiomics with
formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and fresh frozen (FF) tissue samples at cellular and
subcellular resolution. CosMx SMI enables rapid quantification and visualization of up to 1,000
RNA and 64 validated protein analytes. It is the flexible, spatial single-cell imaging platform that
will drive deeper insights for cell atlasing, tissue phenotyping, cell-cell interactions, cellular
processes, and biomarker discovery.
