European Society for Spatial Biology (ESSB)

European Society for Spatial Biology

We are delighted about the great interest in the conference!
We have reached the capacity of our venue and there are already a lot of people on the waiting list, probably even more than we can accommodate despite cancellations. If there are further cancellations, we will notify those who move up in the order in which their registrations were received, but we will not be able to consider new registrations from now on.  

Our abstract book is online!

Why is immunotherapy effective among some patients but not others? In Session 7 of the ESSB conference, Raza Ali https://www.ali-lab.co.uk/ will present how understanding spatial dynamics of the tumor microenvironment in breast cancer can help predict responses to immunotherapy.
Join us on December 12/13 and become part of the spatial biology community-abstract submission until September 15

  1. Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m
    trying to get my website to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m
    not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share.
    Kudos! I saw similar art here: Eco product

  2. A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you need to write more about this subject matter, it may not be a taboo matter but generally folks don’t talk about such subjects. To the next! Kind regards!

  3. I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.

  4. May I simply say what a relief to find a person that genuinely understands what they’re discussing online. You definitely know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people must check this out and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you are not more popular since you certainly have the gift.

  5. A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you ought to write more about this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but generally folks don’t speak about these topics. To the next! Many thanks.

  6. I’d like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this site. I’m hoping to view the same high-grade blog posts from you later on as well. In fact, your creative writing abilities has motivated me to get my own website now 😉

  7. Hi there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Looking at this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this article to him. Fairly certain he’ll have a great read. Many thanks for sharing!

Spatial profiling of human tissues for discovery and diagnosis

The effective treatment of cancer and many other diseases is increasingly dependent on a precision approach in which the quantification of molecular features at the level of individual patients is used to guide treatment plans. Currently, cancer diagnosis and staging are performed primarily via direct examination of biopsy and resection specimens by histopathologists. However, these classical methods provide insufficient molecular insight to guide the use of targeted and immunotherapies even when supplemented by knowledge of tumour genotypes. I will describe the recent development of several high-plex 3D tissue imaging methods that provide new insight into cell states and interactions in the preserved environment of human specimens. I will also discuss how sophisticated data of this type can be used to advance simpler methods that represent a practical approache to the development of a new generation of multiplexed histopathological test for use in clinical trials and patient care. Such tests promise to improve outcomes and reduce the burden of therapy. Realizing these research and diagnostic possibilities requires the development of new instruments, reagents, and machine-learning algorithms. I will describe progress in these areas with reference to the characterization of immune landscapes in primary melanoma and predicting tumour progression in colorectal cancer.

Biosketch
Peter Sorger is the Otto Krayer Professor of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School and Head of the Harvard Program in Therapeutic Sciences. His research focuses on single cell measurement and modeling of oncogenic networks in cancer and inflammatory diseases, particularly the interplay between tumor-intrinsic mechanisms of invasion and metastasis and countervailing immune surveillance. This is performed in human cohorts and mouse models to elucidate molecular programs controlling cancer progression and response to therapeutic drugs applied individually and in combination. His group is currently developing experimental and computational methods for high-plex single-cell analysis of human tumors and tissues in 2D and 3D. In a research setting, 50-100 plex imaging can be performed on conventional FFPE histological specimens at sufficient resolution to visualize individual drug targets and signaling complexes (PD1-PDL1 for example) across enough markers to deeply phenotype the constituents of the tissue microenvironment, including all major immune subtypes. In a translational setting, efficient lower-plex methods integrated with hematoxylin and eosin-based histology and machine learning/AI modeling enables creation of a new generation of image-based molecular diagnostics. The Sorger lab aims to develop these into companion biomarkers and prognostic tests able to guide clinical trials and more fully realize the promise of precision medicine.
