Gachon Institute of Life Convergence MOU with Fort Rae for joint research...Open Space Transfer Equipment
Nov 28, 2025
Under Gachon University Gil Hospital, the Gachon Institute of Life Convergence (Director Chung Myung-hee) establishes a pre-cycle research support system that ranges from generation of spatial omics data to analysis and visualization in accordance with a joint research agreement with Fort Rai (CEO Lee Dae-seung), a precision medical platform company based on spatial transcription, and opens it to the outside world.
The researcher introduced CosMx, a high-resolution spatial transcript imaging equipment, to build an infrastructure capable of generating high-resolution data at the single cell level.
CosMx is a spatial molecular imaging (SMI) system that provides a single cell-level spatial resolution within a tissue and visualizes tissue microenvironment, immune cell interaction, and disease tissue changes in high resolution.
In particular, up to 18,000 gene expressions and 60 protein expressions in tissues can be analyzed along with location information at the cell level, which is known to accurately grasp the tissue microenvironment and intercellular interaction.
Through this memorandum of understanding (MOU), the two organizations will promote cooperation in various fields such as ▲CosMx-based spatial transcript data generation ▲ data processing, quality management, and bioinformatic analysis support ▲ interpretation, visualization, academic use of research results ▲ joint research projects discovery and promotion. This opening of the service supports spatial omics research that requires expensive equipment and professional analysts as a hospital-business cooperation structure, allowing external researchers and companies to secure high-quality data at reasonable costs.
"This MOU will be an important opportunity for both institutions to create synergy in research and technology development by combining their respective professional capabilities," said researcher Chung Myung-hee. "In the future, Gachon University Life Convergence Research Institute will lead problem solving and innovation in the health care field based on excellent spatial transcript data."
CEO Lee Dae-seung said "Through cooperation with Gachon Institute of Life Convergence, Fortray has been able to maximize research efficiency and technology commercialization by establishing a full-cycle cooperation system ranging from data generation to analysis and visualization."We will make efforts to discover joint research tasks from various angles and contribute to the development of the domestic medical and life sciences fields in the future."
On the other hand, Gachon Medical Life Convergence Research Institute is one of the leading bio-convergence research institutes in Korea and has various research results in the medical and life science and technology fields. Portray is considered a technology company that enables precise biological insights derivation and target verification based on high-resolution spatial biology data.
