The Life & Science Podcast

In the first episode of The Life & Science Podcast, we talk with Luciano Martelotto about benchmarking with honesty: how we compare spatial technologies, why the current approach falls short, and what it will take to get these tools in front of patients.Luciano's career has crossed continents and disciplines. He trained in biotechnology in Rosario, Argentina, at a time when he sometimes had to buy his own Taq polymerase out of his teaching salary to finish his experiments. He moved from plant

Spatial biology has the tools. The question is whether we are using them the right way. In this conversation, we sit down with Gio to unpack what’s really holding spatial biology back: from the tension between academia and industry, to software and data analysis bottlenecks, training bias in biotech, and why clinical adoption remains so difficult.TIME STAMPS00:00 Intro00:43 Who is Giovanni Russo and what he sees across Spatial Biology02:49 Spatial Biology is NOT new - so why does everyone act like
