1/ After a huge team effort, we’re thrilled to share our latest study exploring the tumour microenvironment in NSCLC 🎯We integrated spatial proteomics, transcriptomics, and machine learning to uncover how the architecture and metabolism of the TME relate to patient outcomes.🧵👇

Did you catch the @Qld_SBC on @Channel9?
@aruthak shared an exciting world-first discovery! His team has profiled hundreds of proteins & thousands of gene messages from just a single tissue slide, using samples from 84 patients with head & neck cancer. bit.ly/4lyceNx

Cellular keys to cancer survival/treatment resistance have been unlocked. Scientists including TRI-based @aruthak mapped the tissue microenvironment to identify immune cells linked to living longer with disease in remission. The work is in The @australian. bit.ly/4lBuohx

In a world-first discovery from the @Qld_SBC , doctors can now check hundreds of markers in a single biopsy to show which treatments, like #immunotherapy, #chemotherapy or #radiotherapy, will work best for patients with head and neck #cancer.

@aruthak sat down with the @AACR to talk all things spatial biology.
His team at @Qld_SBC are using cutting-edge spatial biology approaches to gain deeper insights into patient biopsies and surgical resections across a range of tumour types.
