Abstract

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics are revolutionizing science. Latin America's unique genetic diversity, environment, and endemic infectious diseases offer exceptional opportunities to deploy these technologies for societal and scientific impact. We highlight regional challenges and opportunities, offering recommendations to boost capacity, foster collaboration, and promote research equity.
