Last week our lab came together for our annual lab retreat, kindly hosted by @hlsalliance.bsky.social! We exchanged ideas about our research, spatial omics, and took part in some fun (albeit slightly competitive) activities.

I am excited to share my first work in @schapirolab.bsky.social on Multiple Myeloma (MM) in collaboration with the Standal Lab from NTNU Norway. We use Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC) on bone marrow biopsies from MM and precursor patients (details below): www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Highly multiplexed imaging recovers immune and metabolic niches in multiple myeloma associated with disease progression and bone involvement
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer arising from genetically aberrant plasma cells (PCs) that remain dependent on the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment for disease establishment and progression. Here, w...

Ever wondered how to best quantify cell-cell neighbor preferences in tissues?
We compared 9+ neighbor preference (NEP) methods for analysing spatial omics data and propose a novel approach that combines the most relevant analysis features which we call COZI 🔬✨
