47 Dr. Alon Shahar Faculty of Engineering Member of BINA Nano-Biomedicine Center Nano-Photonics Center Research Areas Spatial Genomics Group Abstract Research in the Spatial Genomics group includes a combination of technology development, data analysis and experimental work that aim at developing new insights into learning and memory, neurological diseases and cancer biology. Spatial genomics is a new field that seeks to map the physical position of millions of RNA molecules in cells and tissues and correlate them to normal and pathological conditions. We developed a technology for RNA sequencing inside tissues, which allows studying RNA molecules with unprecedented detail. We use this technology to unravel how molecular content is stored within cells in space to understand the function of complex tissues.
