Unmet Need in Cancer Immunotherapy
Despite the progress we’ve made in cancer immunotherapy, response rates continue to remain in the 20 to 30% range. There’s a need for biomarkers that can accurately predict response to treatment.
Understanding Cancer-Immune Biology
Immunotherapy treatments rely on the activation of the immune system to fight and kill tumor cells. The key to understanding more about tumor-immune biology lies in studying the complexity of the tumor microenvironment.
Transforming Your Approach to Cancer Biomarker Discovery
Multispectral Imaging enables the discovery of biomarker signatures from a single FFPE tissue section, while preserving the spatial context of the tumor microenvironment.
Visualize
See how cells organize and interact in the tumor microenvironment
Quantify
Shift the paradigm from subjective IHC measurements to quantitative, reproducible multiplex imaging
Predict
Reliably predict immunotherapy response and disease progression through novel biomarker signatures

Oncology Experts Discover Spatial Phenotypic Signatures with Multiplex Imaging
In the translational research group, we are developing completely new types of tissue testing and imaging technology. These include the PhenoImager™ mIF workflow which we have implemented for our ImmunoProfile project at DFCI/BWH. This multiomics approach captures far more immunological information within a tumor biopsy sample than has been accessible before.

Standardization Efforts
The value of Spatial Phenotypic Signatures in translational and clinical research relies on a standardized and reproducible workflow.
MITRE: First Multi-Site mIF Standardization Study
6 leading institutions, across academia and pharma, established the inter- and intra-site reproducibility of the Phenoptics multiplex imaging workflow.
Validating Multiplex Imaging Panels for PD-L1 Testing
Studies by pathologists at Queen’s University show high concordance between DAB IHC and multispectral imaging panels for profiling immunotherapy biomarkers.
Bringing Multiplex Imaging to the Clinic
Dr. Joe Yeong, Immunopathologist at the Singapore General Hospital predicts that multiplex imaging is poised to transform the cancer biomarker landscape.
