2D/3D Molecular and Microbiome Cartography
Map Design
Sampling grid, swab protocol, blanks and metadata schema.
Generate Data
Collaborate with partners to acquire LC-MS/MS for small molecules (broad polarity coverage) and 16S/shotgun for microbiome.
Process & Identification
Feature tables, blank filtering, LOD imputation, spectral matching, compositional transforms.
Register to Geometry
Align each spot to a 3D mesh and project intensities onto the surface
Analyze Spatial Patterns
Co-localization (microbe <-> metabolite), enrichment, before/after comparisons and stats.
Typical Use Cases
Skin & personal care
Visualize where actives land, how microbiome/metabolites shift by region, and pre/post treatment changes.
Devices & Environments
Contamination tracking (keypads, wearables, hospital rooms) and forensic localization.
Ag/Eco/Biotech
Plant surfaces, biofilms, or product contact surfaces.
Deliverables
• Interactive 3D viewer (web) with layer toggles, legends and thresholds
• Cartographical snapshots
• Ranked findings: hotspots, gradients, and significant microbe-metabolite co-occurrences linked to pathways
