Research over the years has determined that the spatial context of the TME is key to understanding cancer and improving its treatment. Spatial analysis of the TME reveals the distribution patterns of cell populations and elucidates the communication between cellular components. David Steffin, an assistant professor at Texas Children’s Hospital/Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, will discuss how to use CODEX (CO-Detection by indEXing), a single-cell spatial phenotyping solution, to characterize the microenvironment of various pediatric tumors and to understand the potential interactions that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells may elicit.

Adding a spatial dimension provides unique and important insights into fundamental questions in biology. The emergence of new cutting-edge techniques, such as high-resolution spectral imaging, lattice light-sheet microscopy, and spatial transcriptomics, allows us to accurately assess the spatial landscape of biological systems at cellular and sub-cellular resolution. Incorporating a spatial element to large-scale analyses of biological processes, small molecule peptides, and disease pathology, has enabled breakthrough discoveries across disciplines in the life sciences. Learn more about spatial technology applied across different topic areas in this exciting Cell Press webinar featuring the work of Jun Huang (University of Chicago), Jun Hee Lee (University of Michigan), and Elizabeth Shank from the (UMass Chan Medical School).
