On Sep. 11, 2024, the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), part of City of Hope, announced the launch of the Center for Spatial Multi-Omics (COSMO), a service center dedicated to transforming biomedical research through spatial biology. COSMO offers an unparalleled suite of services designed to help scientists visualize and map molecular data at the single-cell level directly within tissues.

COSMO focuses on mapping entire tissue sections at subcellular resolution, preserving important cellular environments and structures for histological analysis. With its advanced technologies, researchers can examine thousands of RNA targets in great detail.
