A Ready-to-Analyze High-Plex Spatial Signature Development Workflow for Cancer Immunotherapy
Webinar | November 28, 2023
In this webinar, Aditya Pratapa and Lorcan Sherry present a new workflow for analyzing multiplex immunoflurescence images. Spatial Signatures are a new class of highly predictive biomarkers that measure the interactions and cellular densities of tumor and immune cells that compose the tumor microenvironment. Based on multiplex immunofluorescence, spatial signatures provide a deeper understanding of complex interactions between tumors and the immune system, enabling improved patient stratification for immunotherapies. A significant hurdle to date has been in developing a data analysis workflow that is straightforward and user-friendly to transform the data rich images into meaningful quantitative spatial signatures.
