Advancing the spatial analysis of cells in tissues to profile the tumour microenvironment [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2022 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Tumours are composed of a mix of different cells, including cancer cells, immune cells and other cells supporting tumour growth. These cells are not organised randomly, but rather are distributed in specific patterns. Here we will develop computational methods to detect these patterns and determine what statistical tests should be used to compare samples. This project will give us the tools to investigate how the location of cells in tissues relates to treatment response and survival.
