Spatial Transcriptomics information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Spatial Transcriptomics Scientist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Spatial Transcriptomics Scientist, you need a strong background in molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics, typically supported by an advanced degree in a life science field. Familiarity with spatial transcriptomics platforms (such as 10x Genomics Visium), next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, and data analysis tools like R or Python is essential. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are important soft skills for collaborating on interdisciplinary research projects. These skills and qualities are crucial for generating high-quality spatial gene expression data and translating findings into meaningful biological insights.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in spatial transcriptomics, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in spatial transcriptomics often encounter challenges related to handling large, complex datasets and integrating spatial information with gene expression data. Ensuring high-quality sample preparation and mastering advanced imaging or sequencing technologies are also frequent hurdles. These challenges can be addressed by collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams—including bioinformaticians, molecular biologists, and imaging specialists—and staying up-to-date with the latest software tools and protocols. Continuous learning and effective communication within the team are key to overcoming technical and analytical obstacles in this rapidly evolving field.

What is spatial transcriptomics?

Spatial transcriptomics is an advanced technique that allows scientists to measure gene expression within the spatial context of tissue samples. Unlike traditional RNA sequencing, which loses information about where each gene is expressed, spatial transcriptomics preserves the physical location of gene activity in tissues. This helps researchers better understand how cells function within their native environments and interact with neighboring cells, which is especially valuable in fields like cancer research, neuroscience, and developmental biology. The method combines microscopy, molecular biology, and computational analysis to produce detailed maps of gene expression.

Job description

Postdocposition is available in the laboratory of Dr. Dorina Avram in the Department of Immunology and Immuno-Oncology Program at the Moffitt Cancer Center to study transcriptional and epigenetic regulators that control the programs of tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes. Through complex manipulations of these decision factors, the goal is to reach a state in which the persistency and efficiency of TILs are maintained, while the exhaustion is blocked. Such a state will make the TILs resistant to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. We use patient derived samples, genetically engineered mouse models, along with state-of-the-art molecular methodologies, including transcriptomics (bulk and scRNAseq), epigenomics, CRISPR-genome editing, multiplex immunofluorescence and spatial transcriptomics, with the ultimate goal to harness the immune responses for cancer therapies. To learn more about Dr. Avram, visit https://www.moffitt.org/research-science/researchers/dorina-avram/.
Credentials and Qualifications: We seek an enthusiastic candidate with a Ph.D. in immunology, knowledge of molecular biology tools and strong commitment to research. Rich wet laboratory experience, including working with mice is required. Submit your curriculum vitae, including clear list of publications and references directly to dorina.avram@moffitt.org.
