Speaker Profile
Ph.D., Co-Founder & Scientific Advisor, Singular Genomics
Biography
Eli Glezer co-founded Singular Genomics and led the RD and Engineering teams in the development of NGS and Spatial Sequencing technology. Today, the G4X Spatial Sequencer brings the power of high-speed in-situ sequencing to spatial biology, offering unrivaled throughput for spatial analysis of gene transcripts and proteins in real-world FFPE tissue samples. This technology is enabling next-generation pathology, revealing new biological insights in clinical studies and translational medicine. Prior to Singular, Dr. Glezer served as CTO at Meso Scale Diagnostics where he led the development of a market-leading multiplexed immunoassay technology, used today in thousands of laboratories word-wide. Eli's interdisciplinary work at the intersection of biology, chemistry, physics and engineering has resulted in a wide range of inventions, reflected in 75 issued US patents. He received his BA degrees in Physics and Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley, and a PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard University.

Spatial Sequencing for Next Generation Pathology
Imaging RNA and proteins in tissue with sub-cellular resolution brings new molecular-level insights to pathology. The G4X Spatial Sequencer uses NGS with 4-color, high-speed, sub-micron-resolution imaging to analyze gene transcripts and proteins in FFPE tissue sections. Processing up to 40 samplesrun (1 cm2 each), the G4X enables large-scale clinical studies for next generation pathology.
