Spatial Multiplex And Transcriptomics Applications In Drug Discovery

Advances in multiplexing and computational analysis have revolutionised our comprehension of tissue-specific biology and therapeutic interactions. Spatial multiplexing facilitates drug discovery by characterising patient biopsies, elucidating model systems, and identifying novel biomarkers. It also contributes to understanding drug distribution, molecular heterogeneity, and the mechanisms underlying off-target toxicity. This presentation provides an overview of recent developments in the field, along with examples from projects.
