Technology Innovation
The Technology Innovation Lab is a dedicated incubator within the NYGC comprised of a multidisciplinary team in which staff scientists and faculty, as well as many research collaborators, can explore and test breakthrough genomic tools and ideas.
Overview
We serve as a creative hub for generating new technologies, protocol development, equipment evaluation and informatics tool development/integration. Although our interests and focus are constantly evolving due to the fast-paced advancement of genomic technologies, we are committed to developing technologies with the potential to advance research for the wider scientific community, some of which are highlighted below.
Research Focus
Cells are the fundamental building blocks of complex organisms. The ability to measure genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic states at the single-cell level is paramount to understanding the biology of healthy and disease states. We are actively developing techniques and tools to improve and expand the measurement repertoire of single cells at high-throughput.
New Tools Developed
- PySeq2500: open source Python code base and flow cell design that converts the Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument
- SHM-seq: Spatial Host–Microbiome Sequencing
- Spatial Transcriptomics
- SM-Omics: automated platform for high-throughput spatial multi-omics
- ECCITE-seq: Expanded CRISPR-compatible Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by Sequencing
