This NIH-funded project by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) focuses on mapping glioma tumor cell types and their spatial distribution in the brain using advanced spatial transcriptomics and modeling techniques to improve treatment and prognosis.
Description
The project aims to study the spread of cancer cells throughout the brain, focusing on the mapping of tumor cell types and their locations in brain cancer patients. Using spatial transcriptomics and agent-based modeling, the research will reconstruct tumor development in space and time, facilitating individualized treatment planning and prognosis.
