ABSTRACT
Single cell analysis of tumors has enabled the characterization of diverse cancer cell states that are associated with metastasis, drug resistance, proliferation and other cancer phenotypes. For example, we uncovered cancer cellular states that recur across most patients with glioblastoma (GBM) or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and have important implications. However, these cellular states and their functions are highly dependent on the entire tumor ecosystem. To understand the organization of cell states we apply spatial transcriptomics and spatial proteomics to human tumors and develop computational approaches to analyze these datasets. In this talk I will describe our recent spatial studies in the two contexts that we focus on – glioblastoma and head and neck cancer.
