New instrument alert! Post-tenure version 2.0 of the C-lab now received another exciting spatial transcriptomics instrument, MERSCOPE, from Vizgen and Ultivue by Vizgen... We hope to impact 1) precision oncology, 2) smart cell therapy, and 3) predictive autoimmune disorders!
#NIH released a #FundingOpportunity for the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award to support researchers pursuing bold and innovative approaches to major challenges. Learn more about this exciting initiative: bit.ly/3FYVRKI
New course award alert! Excited to share that the newly developed course "Biomedical Data Visualization", for short - BDV, BMED 8813-Special Topics" received a student recognition in Spring 2025! The class teaches R, Python, and Tableau - the theory and applications using them.
Excited the present at the 2nd American Spatial Biology Congress in Philadelphia, USA It was full of energy and an established community of spatial enthusiasts!

In a significant academic milestone, Assistant Professor Ahmet Coskun was named one of 36 faculty at Georgia Tech who earned tenure this spring, marking a pivotal moment in a career defined by innovation, mentorship, and interdisciplinary research. bme.gatech.edu/bme/news/cosku…
Modular integration of epithelial, microbial, and immune components to study human intestinal biology. Amazing team project with @_RubenL_, Marius Harter, @CY_Qianhui_YU, @mike_nikolaev, @TheLutolfLab, Nikolche Gjorevski, and many others @IHB_Research biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Excited to have Nicholas Zhang present his PhD proposal today! [There is one last presentation to go!] Nicholas has developed an automated Python spatial omics platform for spatiotemporal, time series, and programmable fixation of cells. He is an intern at J&J this summer.

Today, NIH announced a new initiative to expand innovative, human-based science while reducing the use of animals in research. This aligns with @US_FDA’s initiative to reduce testing in animals. bit.ly/4jYd4T2
This symposium is happening today at IBB 1128 Georgia Tech. Zoom link is available on the website. sites.gatech.edu/scope/
** New Symposium** We are organizing the first Spatial Omics Symposium in Georgia to form a Spatial Consortium for Omics & Patient-Centered Excellence (SCOPE) SCOPE website: [lnkd.in/eXcXJkex] on April 23, 2025 (Suddath Seminar Room 1128, GT )
What if doctors could predict how stem cells behave before injection? @ahmetfcoskun's team at @CoulterBME built a “mini-lab” with hydrogels & 3D transcriptomics to map cell behavior—lowering GVHD risk & personalizing cancer care. bit.ly/42EXwfT
It was wonderful to host and moderate ISBI 2025 Young Professional Networking Event in Houston, Texas today where we had a panel about career growth and opportunities in Biomedical fields.
@ahmetfcoskun, Wilbur Lam, and Yongzhi Qiu are among the researchers who have made a groundbreaking recent discovery in the treatment of blood clots. Their findings were published in @Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158…
bme.gatech.edu/bme/news/worki… happy to share our story on how "graph-based 3D spatial transcriptomics" maps influence immune cell rejections in stem cell treatments of pediatric diseases
The Cell Science Annual Meeting welcomed over 250 grantees + partners to discuss new #tech that will help discover biological insights, updates to the @humancellatlas & the potential of synthetic biology to illuminate cellular complexity.
It was wonderful to deliver a planery lecture today at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Cell Science 2025 Symposium in Chicago! We discussed the recent updates on the spatial interactomics and super resolution spatial metabolomics Thanks to CZI program managers for the invite
Congrats to Zhou Fang getting to finalize his PhD candidacy. One last presentation to go!
Lab hiking organized by Samuel Dembowitz Great to see the hardworking team socializing and recharging
Happy to have received mini teaching funds for being a "Class of 1969 Teaching Fellow" at GT. ctl.gatech.edu/faculty/groups… The funds will be used for the interactive learning module development to create widely accessible, inquiry-driven biomedical data visualization.
