10x Genomics announced the expansion of its 10x Certified Service Provider (CSP) Network to include three leading clinical research organizations (CROs). The organizations will partner with 10x Genomics to support global biopharmaceutical companies seeking to leverage 10x Genomics' robust single-cell and spatial technologies to power new therapeutic discoveries and accelerate drug development. The three organizations selected for the 10x Genomics program are Second Quarter Solutions, Azenta Life Sciences, and CellCarta.

Incorporating single-cell and spatial capabilities into large-scale clinical research studies can help biopharmaceutical companies predict resistance to therapies in cancer patients, analyze end-point molecular readouts in cancer trials, understand correlative immunological responses to drug therapies, or examine the molecular mechanisms behind vaccine-elicited cell-mediated immunity, among other applications.
