At St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, we seamlessly integrate basic, translational and clinical research to advance cures for catastrophic childhood diseases. Over the past decade, we have led major efforts to profile the genomic landscape of pediatric cancers and integrated those data with transcriptomic, epigenetic and proteomic data. With recent advances in single-cell profiling using next-generation sequencing platforms, researchers at St. Jude are now elucidating the cellular heterogeneity of pediatric cancer and other experimental models.
Single-cell transcriptome profiling combined with spatial assay platforms provides an unprecedented opportunity to elucidate the cellular heterogeneity in normal development, cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases. Our strength in advanced microscopy, computational biology, cancer modeling and the rich resource of tissue samples provide a unique opportunity to accelerate discovery and advance cures.
As part of the 2022-2027 St. Jude Strategic Plan , we are building a new institutional shared resource focused on implementing cutting edge spatial-omics platforms. Our experience as part of the Human Tumor Atlas Pilot Project and Human Tumor Atlas Network has provided us with the expertise to rapidly accelerate development of this unique resource to serve all investigators at St. Jude.
Join our team
We are currently recruiting a director for this new shared resource who will create a bold vision to navigate the rapidly changing research advances in spatial-omics today and in the future. Multiple staff positions will also be available. Join our team to contribute to our mission to save lives and improve the quality of life for children with cancer and other devastating diseases.
