ESSB – European Society for Spatial Biology

The “European Society for Spatial Biology” is a 2024 founded European scientific society that brings together researchers from the field of spatial biology. Prof. Dr. Anja Hauser, group leader at the DRFZ, is one of the founding members. The inaugural conference took place on 12 and 13 December 2024 in Berlin.

Spatial biology goes beyond the study of individual cells by considering their spatial arrangement and interactions within complex tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary research approach integrates knowledge from medicine, biology, physics, computer science and other disciplines in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of biological systems in health and disease.
