In this special “Meet the Expert” episode, two distinguished guests from Johns Hopkins University discuss their pioneering approach of applying methodologies, initially developed for astronomy, to the assessment of biomarkers of tumor microenvironment (TME). The guests are Dr. Janis Taube, director of Dermatopathology at Hopkins, and a co-Director of the TME Core at the Bloomberg-Kimmel Institute of Immunotherapy, and Dr. Alex Szalay, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Astronomy and Computer Science at Hopkins and the architect for the Science Archive of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The fascinating discussion focuses on an innovative multiplex imaging platform that they co-developed (AstroPath) for multidimensional assessment of spatially resolved interactions at the single-cell level of lung cancer and melanoma.
