This project was a great example of the unintended benefits of large Team Science iniatives like Cancer Grand Challenges Challenges. iMAXT was an impressive collection of so much talent, and a lot of great ideas justs came out of having these people in a room together.

Excited to share our new platform for hyperplexed IF spatial imaging & analysis - HIFI!

We developed this to be as #accessible & economical as possible for all interested in #spatial analysis of complex tissues

We used HIFI to interrogate #spatial alterations in the complex tumor microenvironment following therapeutic radiation..

HIFI revealed powerful insights into the spatial reorganisation of the #TME of primary & metastatic #brain tumors after RT, and also in recurrent disease

This study was led by Spencer S Watson, an incredible, creative postdoc in my lab who is now going on the faculty job market - he is one to watch 🤩

We are both indebted to our brilliant co-authors incl Benoit Duc Jean Hausser Nils Eling Bodenmiller lab and many others!

We are v grateful to generous funders Cancer Grand Challenges The Brain Tumour Charity Ludwig Cancer & others 🙏🏼🙏🏼

We specifically acknowledge all in the amazing #IMAXT consortium, led by Greg Hannon, and the incredible Future Leaders Program that supports Spencer:

It's been a great few days at #AACR24 in San Diego. I had the chance to present our latest findings from the #MUTOGRAPHS head and neck cancer project. Missed the talk? You can catch it on the AACR online platform, or stay tuned for the preprint coming soon!
