Advancing Multiplex Image Analysis with AI for Cancer Ecosystems
Complex spatial analyses are becoming essential in biomedical research, yet the tools are lagging behind. We are exploring spatial transcriptomics and multiplex imaging to identify markers of senescence during and after chemo, immuno-oncology and radiation therapy. We aim to develop new deep learning methods for dissecting spatial biology data.
