Deep Technical Expertise
Strategic guidance rooted in over 8 years of leading advanced genomics cores at world-class institutions.
Single-Cell Sequencing
We provide deep technical insight into single-cell platforms like 10x Genomics, focusing on optimizing sample quality and ensuring technical robustness across large cohorts and multi-omic assays.
- Teams launching large-scale single-cell initiatives
- Projects involving challenging clinical samples or rare cells
- Researchers moving from bulk sequencing to single-cell resolution
- Organizations seeking to standardize single-cell workflows
Spatial Omics
We provide end-to-end guidance for spatial omics studies, focusing on the critical technical requirements of platforms like Xenium, MERSCOPE, and GeoMx DSP. We ensure your tissue handling and slide preparation are optimized for high-quality data.
- Teams moving into spatial transcriptomics or proteomics
- Projects involving complex or rare tissue types
- Researchers seeking to integrate spatial and single-cell data
- Organizations evaluating spatial technology investments
Bridging the Gap Between Technology and Discovery
Dr. Elsa Molina is a PhD-trained biologist and enthusiastic, compassionate consultant specializing in single-cell sequencing and spatial omics technologies.
Having worked across France, Australia, and the United States, she brings a global perspective to translational and biomedical research. With over 8 years of expertise in molecular biology, genomics, and translational research, she has supported multidisciplinary programs at leading institutions, including the Salk Institute and UC San Diego. Dr. Molina combines rare hands-on expertise in wet lab operations, experimental design, advanced technology implementation, and scientific strategy across major platforms, including Xenium, MERSCOPE, Visium, GeoMx, and Chromium X.
Her work focuses on helping academic and industry partners accelerate discovery through innovative, high-quality, and reproducible research solutions in spatial transcriptomics and translational genomics.
