About PANORAMICS

Panorama of OMICS technologies, A Vision in Space

Panoramics - A Vision

Panoramics - A Vision is a pan-Canadian Spatial and Single Cell Initiative driven by dedicated individuals from academia and industry with various backgrounds in scientific research.

Our mission is to 'inspire' multifaceted collaborations , encouraging healthy competitions and leadership development, to 'challenge' thought discussions and disruptive science by facilitating out-of-box thinking and to 'enlighten' our scientists through workshops, educational events and hackathons.

Our mission is to elevate spatial and single cell research in Canada to highlight Canadian science to the world.

Together, we strive to re-imagine conversations in science

OUR CHAPTERS

Panoramics' mission and objectives are delivered through our three chapters -

the 'inspire-me', the 'challenge-me' and the 'enlighten-me' chapters.

The "enlighten me" chapter

Discover the "Enlighten Me" series: a dynamic blend of tutorials and workshops designed to expand minds through engaging seminars and discussions. Dive into knowledge enrichment and unleash your intellectual potential.

The "challenge me" chapter

Embark on the "Challenge Me" journey, where unconventional thinking is the norm. Delve into events that defy standard concepts, promoting a paradigm shift and the exploration of innovative methods. Embrace the thrill of challenging established norms in a constructive environment.

The "inspire me" chapter

Experience the "Inspire Me" series, featuring inspiring talks by eminent speakers. Learn from their research journeys, unique scientific experiences, and visions. These sessions aim to ignite the 'creator' within each scientist, fostering inspiration and perseverance in their scientific endeavors.

Our vision

Panoramics offers a vision for a pan-Canadian collaborative working cluster for spatial and single cell multi-omics technologies & projects. Panoramics promotes dialogues that will inspire, challenge and enlighten the scientist in you. Here, open dialogues are encouraged, where groundbreaking positive and negative data are shared and discussed. Panoramics encourages interactions that will challenge you to think beyond your comfort zone. Through these dialogues and interactions, we aim to educate and encourage collaborations that will push the boundaries of the spatial and single cell world.

Together, we can re-imagine the way conversations between scientists take place, and build a panorama that goes beyond our collective imaginations.

scToronto Analysis Group

In 2017, the Toronto scAnalysis Working Group was founded and launched by a remarkable group of people as a grassroots Slack community focused on single-cell technologies. It quickly grew beyond Toronto, creating a vibrant hub for discussions and knowledge-sharing.

To learn more about this incredible group of people who laid the foundations of this group and gave a strong example of what community spirit should be , follow this link here.

Like many grassroots initiatives, the momentum of the group was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In April 2023, Panoramics – A Vision was formed as a new initiative with its own mission and leadership, focused on building a national ecosystem around spatial and single-cell technologies. While Panoramics took over stewardship of the original Slack space and continues to support the broader community, it was founded independently with a distinct set of goals and values.
