Development of Spatial Transcriptomics Capability

内布拉斯加州分子靶标发现和开发中心（CMTDD）的目标是（1） 提供必要的手段来定义、验证和开发针对疾病靶点的潜在疗法，以及 (2)促进早期研究者的专业和科学发展。与范围一致 CMTDD使命，本补充申请的目的是购买MERSCOPE（Vizgen，Inc.）和 为内布拉斯加州分子生物学中心的早期研究人员提供空间转录组学能力 目标发现和开发（CMTDD）和大学系统中的其他COBREs。MERSCOPE将 是CMTDD组学资源的基石，这将降低调查人员的成本障碍， 研究论文和赠款申请将受益于复杂数据集的生成和分析。

The goals of the Nebraska Center for Molecular Target Discovery and Development (CMTDD) are to (1) provide the means necessary to define, validate, and develop potential therapies against disease targets, and (2) facilitate the professional and scientific development of early-stage investigators. Consistent with the scope of the CMTDD mission, the aim of this supplemental request is to purchase a MERSCOPE (Vizgen, Inc.) and provide spatial transcriptomics capability to early-stage investigators of the Nebraska Center for Molecular Target Discovery and Development (CMTDD) and other COBREs in the University system. MERSCOPE will be a cornerstone of the CMTDD omics resource, which will lower the cost barrier for investigators whose research papers and grant applications would benefit from the generation and analysis of complex data sets.
