Digital Futures Flagship Project Awarded
We are excited to announce that a Digital Futures Flagship project, AI-Based 3D Spatial Cancer Biology, has been awarded to Gisele Miranda, Jens Lagergren, and Joakim Lundeberg. The project brings together expertise in artificial intelligence, computational modeling, spatial omics, and cancer biology to develop new methods for studying tumors as three-dimensional biological systems.
While current spatial transcriptomics technologies provide detailed molecular information from two-dimensional tissue sections, our goal is to use AI to reconstruct and analyze the three-dimensional organization of tumors and their microenvironments.
By integrating cutting-edge AI with state-of-the-art spatial omics technologies, this interdisciplinary collaboration aims to establish a new computational framework for studying cancer biology in three dimensions, opening new opportunities for precision oncology and data-driven biomedical discovery.
We thank Digital Futures for their support and look forward to sharing the scientific advances that will emerge from this exciting initiative.
