Indica Labs announces webinar for November
Exploring SPIAT for HALO image analysis: An R package for the Spatial Image Analysis of Cells in Tissues
Date: 21 November 2022 (US), 22 November 2022 (AEST)
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm PST | 3:00 – 4:00 pm EST | 7:00 – 8:00 am AEST
Location: Webinar
Learn how SPIAT can advance your spatial analyses
SUMMARY
Dr. Trigos’ team works in the development of algorithms for the characterization, quantification and classification of spatial patterns of cells across spatial proteomics and transcriptomics technologies, borrowing concepts from spatial statistics and ecology.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Learn how SPIAT can be applied to HALO data
- Understand how cell co-localization can be measured with SPIAT
- Learn the importance of choosing spatial metrics based on specific research questions
- Explore a case study of spatial analysis that links spatial patterns of the microenvironment with tumor genetics
