About The Nordic Alliance for Single-cell and Spatial Analysis (NASSA)


NASSA connects advanced omics facilities and expertise across Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. The network makes it easier for researchers to find and access technologies and services across Nordic borders.


What we do

Access to advanced technologies

We connect infrastructures across the Nordic region, enabling researchers to access the tools and expertise they need—regardless of location.

Training and knowledge exchange

Through courses, workshops, and collaboration, we strengthen skills and capacity across the research community.

Harmonisation of methods

We work to align protocols and workflows, improving quality, reproducibility, and comparability.

Mobility and collaboration

We support staff exchange and cross-border collaboration to foster hands-on learning and stronger networks.

The Nordic Network

NASSA brings together leading infrastructures across the Nordic countries, creating a shared ecosystem for single-cell and spatial omics.

Core partners include leading facilities in:

Together, they form a coordinated Nordic network of technologies, expertise, and services.

Impact

By connecting infrastructures and expertise across borders, NASSA:

  • Improves access to advanced technologies
  • Strengthens collaboration across the Nordic region
  • Reduces duplication of costly infrastructure
  • Accelerates research and innovation
