We’ll be sharing a detailed blog post in the coming days with everything that was built, discussed, and what comes next.

Stay tuned 🚀

What stood out most was how naturally these efforts connect back to the broader vision of scverse: building a unified, extensible ecosystem for all things single-cell

A big thank you to our sponsors who made this possible: 10x Genomics, Biohub, Proteintech, Lamin, and Pfizer.

• strengthening connections with the R ecosystem and existing tools there
• integrating single-cell proteomics, spatial proteomics, and spatial transcriptomics
• tackling metadata standards and interoperability challenges

Across the hackathon, teams worked on:
• data analysis workflows for single-cell and spatial proteomics
• shaping best practices and documentation for the field
• expanding core data structures to better support proteomics needs

As part of the scverse Proteomics Consortium, a community-driven effort that lives under scverse and shares its open, interoperable, and collaborative mission, we brought together researchers, developers, and domain experts to push forward what multimodal single-cell biology can look like.

Two inspiring days in Berlin just wrapped up with our scverse hackathon on single-cell and spatial proteomics and it’s hard not to feel energized by what this community can do together.
