Fusion Spatial Multiomics Grant Program
Fusion Spatial Multiomics Grant Program Awards
The Akoya Fusion Spatial Multiomics Grant Program provides oncology researchers an opportunity to explore the power of ultrahigh-plex deep spatial phenotyping with multi-analytes with early access to an ground-breaking new multiomics assay designed for the PhenoCycler-Fusion® platform. The grant recipient will supply up to 3 human tissue samples that will be used to reveal the presence of protein biomarkers and RNA targets of interest on the same platform. They will receive robust spatial multiomics imaging data on human tumor tissue samples. With this highly multiplexed, multi-analyte detection approach, you can not only phenotype cells in situ with single-cell resolution, but also investigate the signaling state of these cells by quantifying expression levels of targets difficult to resolve using protein-based methods alone (e.g., chemokines, cytokines, and other secreted proteins).

2023 Grant Awardees
We are pleased to announce our Fusion Spatial Multiomics Grant Program Award winners:
2023 Grant Program Submission
The Akoya Biosciences Fusion Spatial Multiomics Grant Program was offered to researchers as an opportunity to explore the power of ultrahigh-plex deep spatial phenotyping with multi-analytes with early access to a groundbreaking new multiomics assay designed for the PhenoCycler-Fusion® platform. Our grant recipient was chosen based on their abstract describing the work they are performing at the Henry Ford Lab evaluating Patient Diversity and how that affects racial health disparities within pancreatic cancer patients.
“Utilizing the PhenoCycler-Fusion® Platform, we hope to understand more about the differences that could lead to the closing of the gap in health disparities of this deadly disease with a 5-year survival of only 11%”.
We look forward to working with the team at the Henry Ford Pancreatic Cancer Center to impact patient outcomes.
Thank you for your interest in this grant program.

Rapid, Unbiased In Situ RNA & Protein Detection
Akoya Biosciences invites scientists involved in cancer research to apply for a spatial multiomics grant program that combines the speed and depth of the PhenoCycler™-Fusion System with the power of protein and RNA detection on the same platform.
Through this grant program, you’ll have access to Akoya’s expertise in oncology and broad selection of cancer biomarkers. Ignite your cancer research program with spatial phenotyping fueled by detection of multiple analytes to gain deep insights into the biology of cancers.
The grant recipient will receive:
- Deep spatial multiomics data to reveal the presence of relevant RNA and protein markers for the cancer of interest
- Spatial insights for up to 3 FFPE tissue samples
- An assay report on results of the PhenoCycler-Fusion multiomics workflow
Apply Now for the Fusion Spatial Multiomics Grant Program
For the grant recipient, our team of scientists and bioinformaticians will help to generate a robust spatial phenotyping dataset for up to 3 human samples that will help to elucidate a more comprehensive biological picture of the cancer tissue and model under investigation using spatial phenotyping technology for RNA and protein detection with a broad selection of known cancer biomarkers.
