DESCRIPTION:Spatial omics provides unprecedented opportunities for the unde
 rstanding of cells\, tissues and systems by combining omics and imaging te
 chnologies.\n\nThis hands-on workshop will show you how to analyse data fr
 om *in situ* spatial (e.g. CosMx\, Xenium) experiments with Seurat in R to
  visualise gene expression within tissue samples. Using real-life experime
 ntal data we step through the process of reading in data\, quality control
 \, filtering\, dimensionality reduction\, visualisation and differential e
 xpression analysis. We will discuss the ‘why’ behind each step and ess
 ential best practices for designing and running spatial omics experiments.
 \n\n**Lead Trainers:**\n\nDr Sarah Williams\, Senior Bioinformatician\, QC
 IF Ltd.\n\nFred Jaya\, Senior Bioinformatician (Australian BioCommons)\, S
 ydney Informatics Hub\, University of Sydney.\n\n**Date/Time**: 28 \\-29 O
 ctober 2025\, 1 \\- 4 pm AEDT /12- 3pm AEST / 12:30 \\- 3:30 pm ACDT / 10 
 \\- 1 pm AWST \n\n**Format:**\n\nThis online workshop will take place over
  two sessions. You must attend both sessions in order to get the most out 
 of the workshop. Expert trainers will introduce new topics and guide you t
 hrough hands-on activities to help you put your new skills into action.\n\
 n**Learning outcomes:**\n\nBy the end of the workshop you should be able t
 o:\n\n* Load CosMx data into a Seurat object and annotate it   \n* Perform
  QC and filter the data for further analysis  \n* Visualise tissues and ge
 ne expression  \n* Perform PCA\, UMAP and clustering analyses to group and
  visualise cells  \n* Perform differential expression analysis\n\n**Who th
 e workshop is for:**\n\nThis workshop is for Australian researchers who ha
 ve or will work on spatial transcriptomics data as part of their projects.
  You must be associated with an Australian organisation for your applicati
 on to be considered.\n\n*Prerequisites*\n\nYou should have basic knowledge
  of spatial omics technology \\- we recommend watching our introductory we
 binar [Getting started with spatial omics](https://www.biocommons.org.au/e
 vents/spatial-omics-webinar-2025).\n\nYou should also have some familiarit
 y with R. While you don’t need to be an expert\, being able to work with
  tables of data\, load an R library and make basic plots (ideally with ggp
 lot2) will help you get the most out of the workshop.\n\n**How to apply:**

  all applicants will be informed of the status of their application (succe
 ssful\, waiting list\, unsuccessful). Successful applicants will be provid
 ed with a Zoom meeting link closer to the date. More information on the se
 lection process is provided in our [Advice on applying for Australian BioC
