Pioneering Spatial Biology at APSOT2024: SiSP’s Contributions and Insights
Introduction
The APSOT2024 conference was a remarkable event, bringing together leading minds in spatial biology in the Pan-Asia Pacific region. It was an honor for SiSP to participate and share our latest advancements in this rapidly evolving field. Here's a detailed overview of our lab's contributions and the key takeaways from the conference.
Importance of Spatial Biology in Cancer Research
Spatial biology, encompassing spatial proteomics and transcriptomics, allows us to map the intricate landscape of cellular interactions within the tumor microenvironment. This holistic view is crucial for understanding the heterogeneity of cancer, identifying novel biomarkers, and developing targeted therapies. At SiSP, we are leveraging these technologies to drive precision medicine forward.
Our Contributions at APSOT2024
Talk on Spatial Proteomics and Transcriptomics for Biomarker Development in Rare Cancer
