High-throughput Investigation Techniques & Strategies

HITS is a cross-disciplinary community for researchers using or exploring high-throughput approaches, from genome engineering to single-cell imaging and chemical biology. Our open brainstorming sessions bring together experts and beginners to demystify complex tools, lower barriers to entry, and break down silos between labs and domains. These collaborative discussions help surface technical and organizational bottlenecks, guide the expansion of shared resources, and foster a growing knowledge hub of interoperable methods and data. By connecting people around common challenges and complementary capabilities, HITS creates space for new ideas to take shape and gain momentum, ultimately unlocking new collaborative and funding opportunities to accelerate discovery.
