01

Mapping the Cancer-Associated Fibroblast Landscape

We explore the unique roles of spatially distinct cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in shaping the radiotherapy response of tumors.

Bouchard G, Garcia-Marques FJ, Karacosta LG, Zhang W, Bermudez A, Riley NM, Varma S, Mehl LC, Benson JA, Shrager JB, Bertozzi CR, Pitteri SJ, Giaccia AJ, Plevritis SK. Multiomics Analysis of Spatially Distinct Stromal Cells Reveals Tumor-Induced O-Glycosylation of the CDK4-pRB Axis in Fibroblasts at the Invasive Tumor Edge. Cancer Res. 2022 Feb 15;82(4):648-664. doi: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-21-1705. PubMed PMID: 34853070; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC9075699.

02

Exploring the Colocatome

We employ the ensemble of cell-cell colocalizations, known as the colocatome, as a spatial -omic tool to dissect the complex architecture of diseases, integrating patient-derived in vitro models with human histological specimens.

03

Mapping Metabolic
Niches

We explore the spatiometabolic dynamics of lung adenocarcinoma, identifying critical O-glycosylation hotspots that  that fuel tumor survival against radiotherapy.
