Understanding response to immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma by spatially resolved single-cell analyses
November 29, 2024 @ 11:00 – 12:00 CET
Clinical Genomics Webinar Series
The Clinical Genomics Seminar Series offers an engaging platform for researchers and clinicians to explore the latest advancements and applications of genomics in healthcare. Each session features presentations on cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and real-world case studies that highlight how genomics is transforming diagnostics, treatment, and personalized medicine.
Webinar November 29
This talk will focus on the application of spatial transcriptomics and in situ sequencing in understanding the response of melanoma to immune checkpoint blockade therapy. These advanced techniques allow researchers to map gene expression and cellular interactions within the tumor microenvironment with high spatial resolution. By doing so, Professor Göran Jönsson and his team at Lund University, aim to uncover how different cells, including immune cells, behave and respond to therapies, helping to identify biomarkers and mechanisms of resistance. This research is instrumental in improving personalized treatment approaches and enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapies in melanoma patients.
Presenter: Professor Göran Jönsson, Lund University Cancer Center (LUCC), Division of Oncology, Lund University
Host/moderator: Markus Heidenblad, Head of Unit, Clinical Genomics Lund
