Curio Spice

Curio Bioscience is a spatial biology company that develops high-precision tools for genomics research, enabling the mapping of the whole transcriptome at high resolution within its native tissue context. The company's flagship product, Curio Seeker, is the first commercial spatial transcriptomics kit based on the Slide-seq method, providing 10-micron resolution without the need for specialized instrumentation. Curio also offers Curio Trekker, a single-cell spatial mapping kit that transforms single-cell sequencing data into spatially resolved maps. In January 2025, Curio Bioscience was acquired by Takara Bio to integrate its innovative spatial genomics platforms into Takara's global single-cell omics portfolio.
