SUMMARY:Precision Medicine: Tackling the Mysteries of Genetic Diseases
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, Dr. Linda (Shen) Gu will discuss how her lab identifies novel disease-causing genes in patients and how they functionally characterize these genes and variants using stem cell and animal models to uncover their roles in diseases. She will also highlight her lab’s efforts to translate these findings into personalized therapeutics and gene therapies tailored to individual patients. Register today for free!\n\nPNRI Science Matters Seminars\nPNRI’s Science Matters free\, virtual seminars feature discussions with scientists around the globe about exciting research in genetics\, genomics\, and evolutionary biology with important societal impact. Topics include research on the genetics of ethnically diverse populations\, diseases afflicting vulnerable or underserved groups\, and efforts to expand the diversity (broadly defined) of research subjects or the scientific workforce.

SUMMARY:Biostatistics Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Decoding the Tumor Microenvironment from Spatial Analysis of Multiplexed Tissue Imaging Data \nMultiplexed tissue imaging platforms enable the study of tumor immune microenvironment at spatially resolved single cell resolution. A unique challenge for whole-slide multiplexed tissue staining lies in the resulting megapixel images that require innovative and scalable analytical solutions for real world application. In this talk\, I will introduce statistical and computational methods and tools developed in my group to facilitate large-scale multiplexed immunoflorescence (mIF) tissue image analysis. First\, I will present a deep learning tool called CellGate for cell type classification in whole-slide mIF images. CellGate was trained on millions of labeled single-cell images\, learning the variation in marker staining patterns in line with where the marker is expressed and localized (e.g.\, nucleus\, cytoplasm\, membrane)\, and different patterns of noise and background staining inherent to the biology and chemistry. I will also introduce SpatialTopic\, a method to identify spatial signatures based on a niche analysis of cell type composition in cellular neighborhoods. SpaTopic adapts a Bayesian topic model originally developed for computer vision to spatial single cell data to identify spatial immune signatures (e.g.\, tertiary lymphoid like structure) in the tumor microenvironment.
