About the Program

The Spatial Xcellerator program by Complete Genomics is designed to empower scientists who are interested in but hesitant to incorporate spatial transcriptomics into their research due to technical or financial limitations.

Through two targeted Xcellerator tracks—Cancer Research and Tissue Atlas Studies—the program focuses on U.S. researchers and offers not only free reagents and sequencing but also expert-led training and support throughout the entire workflow, from sample preparation to data analysis.

This program aims to accelerate scientific breakthroughs by reducing barriers and providing critical resources and training.
