Seminar at NIB, 24.04.2024 “In Situ sequencing applied to cancer”

In this presentation, we will explore the methodology and significance of analyzing In Situ Sequencing (ISS) data in thecontext of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM) and glioblastoma (GBM) samples. ISS offers a powerful approachto investigate spatially resolved gene expression patterns within tissues, providing crucial insights into tumormicroenvironments and cellular interactions. We will discuss the principles…
