Xenium Xcelerator Program

Redefining Spatial Biology:

Announcing the Xenium Xcelerator Program at Academia Sinica

The Next-Generation Genomics Core Lab (BRCAS), in partnership with 10x Genomics and Pharmigene, is excited to launch the Xenium Xcelerator Program. This initiative provides researchers across Academia Sinica and the broader scientific community with subsidized access to the Xenium In Situ platform—an end-to-end solution for high-throughput subcellular mapping of up to 5,000 genes and multiplexed proteins in a single tissue section.

The Opportunity: 

We invite innovative project proposals that leverage Xenium’s industry-leading sensitivity and specificity to answer complex questions about cellular microenvironments and cell-cell communication.

Exclusive Award Terms:
    • Top 3 Selected Proposals: 40% discount on project costs.

    • All Other Qualified Entries: 30% discount on project costs.

Application Details:
    • Submission Window: Now through May 1st, 2026.

    • Projects must be completed by Nov. 1st, 2026.

Technological Highlights:
    • Subcellular Precision: Achieve sub-100 nm localization of RNA and protein molecules.

    • Pre-designed Panels: Human/Mouse (v1 <500 genes; Prime 5,000 genes).

    • Multiomic Capability: Simultaneously profile up to 5,000 genes and up to 27 proteins in the same cell.

    • Non-destructive Workflow: Preserve sample morphology for post-workflow H&E or IF staining on the same tissue section.

    • Broad Compatibility: Validated for both FF and FFPE tissues across any species (e.g., Human, Mouse, Arabidopsis, rice, zebrafish).

    • Streamlined Analysis: Onboard secondary analysis (clustering, segmentation) allows immediate visualization with the free Xenium Explorer
