The Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP) was awarded $907,406.58 under a Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health Office of the Director through the Research Infrastructure Programs program.

The grant funds the acquisition of a NanoString GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler, which will enable SBP researchers to quantify proteins or mRNAs in a highly multiplexed assay across tissue sections. The instrument bridges traditional spatial analyses in SBP's histology core with single-cell sequencing approaches, providing both spatial information across tissues or tumors as well as the ability to detect dozens of proteins, thousands of RNAs, or whole transcriptomes simultaneously within user-defined regions of interest. This versatile technology supports analysis of formalin-fixed or fresh-frozen sections from human or mouse tissues, as well as RNA or protein targets. The spatially resolved, high-plex data generated by this new infrastructure will facilitate novel insights and hypotheses across SBP's broad research portfolio.
