About
Annelie Mollbrink is a leading figure in spatial transcriptomics, a field she has helped advance through her pioneering work in developing automated, high-throughput methods for analyzing gene expression within intact tissues. Her most impactful contribution is the creation of a fully automated protocol for preparing spatially barcoded RNA-sequencing libraries, a breakthrough that dramatically increased the scalability and reproducibility of spatial gene expression analysis. This foundational work, published in 2016 and cited over 75 times, addressed a critical bottleneck in the field by enabling researchers to move beyond manual, low-throughput sample preparation. By automating the complex workflow, Mollbrink’s innovation has made it feasible to study tissue heterogeneity at an unprecedented scale, empowering labs worldwide to map the molecular architecture of complex biological samples with greater accuracy and efficiency. Her contributions have been instrumental in democratizing spatial genomics, providing the robust, standardized tools necessary for transformative discoveries in development, disease, and cellular biology.
