Uncovering subtype specific heterogeneity in brain cancer with GeoMx® DSP and CosMx™ SMI

Webinar

View On Demand

Would you like to meet spatial experts and learn about Spatial Biology and how the application of Spatial Multi-omics and single-cell imaging can be used to answer important research and clinical questions?
You won’t want to miss this webinar, Sarah Best, PhD and Saskia Freytag, PhD are co-laboratory heads of the brain cancer centre in the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research. They will be sharing their research on studying heterogeneity variance in high-grade-gliomas and their experience with both the GeoMx DSP and the CosMx SMI.

Speakers

Sarah Best, PhD

Laboratory Head, The Brain Cancer Centre, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research

Dr. Sarah Best is a VCA Mid Career Fellow and Laboratory head in the Personalised Oncology Division at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research. Sarah co-leads the Brain Cancer Research Laboratory with Dr Saskia Freytag (bioinformatics lead) and Dr Jim Whittle (neuro-oncology lead), with a strong focus on implementing emerging spatial technologies to better understand the immense heterogeneity of adult glioma. Sarah brings her expertise from multiple solid tumour types to implement advanced metabolomics and generation of novel mouse models to tackle the challenges of brain cancer.

Saskia Freytag, PhD

Laboratory Head, The Brain Cancer Centre, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research

Saskia Freytag is a laboratory head in the Personalised Oncology Division at Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research. Together with Dr Sarah Best and Dr Jim Whittle, Saskia co-leads the Brain Cancer Research Laboratory within the Brain Cancer Centre, where she leads the Bioinformatics arm. Her group uses cutting-edge single cell and spatial omics technologies on improving surgical methods, understanding resistance mechanisms, and identifying novel treatment strategies.
