We study spatial biology in health and disease. Our research lies at the nexus of multiplex bioimaging, microfluidic biodynamics, and big data biocomputation. Using high-dimensional nanoscale imaging datasets, we address fundamental challenges in immuno-engineering, cancers, and pediatric diseases. Variability of single cell images can be used to understand differences in therapeutic responses, as well as satisfy our curiosity on understanding how cells are spatially organized in nature. Key Questions:
  • What are the tissue biomarkers for metabolic defects in aging?
  • How to design predictive cell-based signatures for personalized cancer treatments?
  • How to develop predictive stem cell assays for regenerative therapies?
