The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $410,079 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to The Ohio State University to develop a rigorous statistical power analysis framework for spatial omics experiments. This 4-year grant, active from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028, aims to create computational tools to help researchers design optimal spatial omics studies for investigating tissue architecture and cell-cell communications. The project will develop power analysis approaches for multi-sample and cross-platform spatial omics technologies like 10x Genomics Visium, SeqFISH+, MERFISH, and CODEX. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is a sub-awardee, providing spatial omics datasets and experimental validation to support the framework development.
