An evening gathering exploring spatial biology over drinks and conversation hosted by Parhelia and Quanterix
Join Quanterix and Parhelia Biosciences for a relaxed evening of conversation, connection, and scientific exchange focused on spatial biology. Hosted alongside the American Association for Immunology annual meeting, this gathering brings together researchers and innovators to unwind, enjoy drinks and light bites, and share real-world perspectives on spatial biology applications.
This event is designed to complement the day’s scientific sessions, offering a comfortable setting to connect and explore emerging spatial biology approaches.

Why spend your Thursday evening with us?
Join peers across research, translational science, and spatial biology for an evening focused as much on connections and conversation as on technology.
This informal event brings together scientists and innovators who are actively implementing spatial approaches, offering a rare opportunity to exchange perspectives, ask candid questions, and learn from real‑world experience. Through open discussion, you’ll explore:
- How automated spatial staining workflows are being applied in active research environments
- Practical lessons learned from adopting spatial technologies
- How other researchers are integrating spatial data into their scientific explorations
- Approaches to overcome the challenges in using spatial technologies in clinical diagnostics
The evening is centered around networking, good food, drinks, meaningful conversations, and creating a space to build new relationships and deepen existing ones.
