This NIH-funded project by TRANSLATIONAL GENOMICS RESEARCH INST aims to map tumor cell locations in brain cancer patients using spatial transcriptomics to improve treatment and prognosis.
Description
The project aims to study the spread of cancer cells throughout the brain, focusing on creating detailed maps of tumor cell locations in brain cancer patients. The research will involve spatial transcriptomics on samples from multiple tumors to understand tumor microenvironment interactions and develop models to reconstruct tumor development and forecast future progression, aiding in personalized treatment planning and prognosis.
