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.

SUMMARY:Developing Open Neuroscience Teaching Tools Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This four day in-person workshop will support educators in developing inquiry-based educational activities (ranging in scale from short single-class activities to CURE courses) that integrate Allen Institute’s open science data into their undergraduate neuroscience courses. \nParticipants will learn about publicly available datasets that require no\, low/medium\, or high coding experience from the Allen Institute. Then participants will work together in groups and use a structured backwards design process to design activities that meet their shared learning objectives. Workshop attendees will additionally work together to design both formative and summative assessments for students\, an assessment plan for measuring the success of the activity and plans for sharing the activity and outcomes. \nApply by February 3\, 2025
