Spatial Transcriptomics for Plants and Geobiology

A Knowledge Ecosystem Mission

We are building a living knowledge ecosystem where plant and geobiology research meet the frontier of spatial transcriptomics. Our work links the molecular patterns of life to the landscapes they shape — creating tools, templates, and pathways that make spatial –omics accessible to anyone exploring how cells, tissues, and ecosystems speak to one another.

Science That Sees in Context

From kelp forests to soil microbiomes, from plant roots to geological strata, Verdant helps scientists visualize biological and ecological systems in place.

Discovery becomes shared terrain — mapped together, stewarded together, learned together.

Open Knowledge

Shared protocols, reproducible templates, and a collaborative wiki that grows with the science.

Spatial Platforms

Spatial-omics imaging, MALDI integration, and evolving STmet workflows across biological domains.

Networked Science

Distributed collaboration connecting labs, field sites, and researchers worldwide.

Internal Strategic Vision

For partners, collaborators, and leadership

Reproducibility and Access — Open, adaptable, standardized workflows.
Integration Across Scales — A spatial-omics hub supporting plant, microbial, and geological systems.
Knowledge as Infrastructure — Shared archives, training resources, and versioned datasets.

Science as stewardship.
Curiosity as collaboration.
Precision as kindness.

Verdant sustains this rhythm — steady enough to trust, open enough to surprise, light enough to grow.

Once You Join

What it feels like to enter the Verdant ecosystem

Verdant is not just a center. It’s a living workspace you step into. Once you join, you’re connected to the people, tools, and workflows that make spatial biology collaborative instead of isolated.

Your Page Becomes Your Anchor — the hub linking your projects, methods, and collaborations.
You Join a Distributed Network — labs, field sites, and researchers solving spatial questions together.
Templates Guide Your First Steps — STmet plans, concept pages, and protocols reduce startup friction.
Knowledge Flows Both Ways — every contribution strengthens the collective ecosystem.

Verdant grows through the people who use it. Joining means becoming part of a shared rhythm science as stewardship, curiosity as collaboration.
