10x Genomics, Inc., the life science technology leader focused on accelerating science and advancing human health, announced a research collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit multispecialty academic medical center that integrates clinical care with research and education, to advance research in novel diagnostics for bladder cancer.
This collaboration is part of 10x's broader efforts to partner with leading research institutions to generate the evidence needed to support the future development of diagnostic applications across oncology and other disease areas.
"We look forward to collaborating with 10x Genomics on this promising work. This collaboration has the potential to shed new light into the mechanisms underlying therapeutic response in a number of major cancer types," said Timothy Chan, MD, PhD, Chair, Department of Cancer Sciences, Cleveland Clinic.
"One of the central challenges in oncology today is understanding why patients respond differently to the same therapy," said Serge Saxonov, Co-founder and CEO of 10x Genomics. "There is a clear need for biomarkers that can guide treatment decisions, and we believe Flex Apex, Xenium and now Atera are uniquely suited to uncover them. These insights will be critical to enabling a new generation of diagnostic approaches in oncology."
The collaboration is expected to generate a comprehensive, multimodal dataset linking single cell and spatial insights with clinical outcomes, helping to advance the scientific understanding of treatment response in bladder cancer and support future diagnostic applications.
