Bench to Breakthrough — BioCurious Speaker Series

We were delighted to host another fantastic Open House and Lab Tour, followed by an eye-opening presentation in our Bench to Breakthrough series!

Featured Speakers

• Maithreyan Srinivasan (Srini) (Research leader at Agilent and Bio-Techne, James Watson Genome 2007) — a pioneering biochemist and genomics pioneer whose career spans major milestones in modern genomics, from large-scale DNA sequencing to helping sequence James Watson’s genome—delivered a fascinating talk on how Spatial Biology is changing the future of medicine. Srini explored how an international consortium is building a “Google Maps for the body,” creating 3D cellular atlases that pinpoint where specific cell types, genes, and proteins exist within intact tissue architecture. From identifying drug targets to pioneering multi-molecule imaging and RNAi therapies, his insights demonstrated how turning bold spatial biology ideas into practical tools is opening groundbreaking paths for disease treatment and diagnostic medicine.
