Colorectal Cancer Atlas

The Colorectal Cancer atlas aims to advance our understanding of the complex spatial interactions that contribute to colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancers are complex assemblies of tumor, immune, and stromal cells that invade adjacent tissue and spread to distant sites. We use highly multiplexed tissue imaging, spatial statistics, and machine learning to identify cell types and states underlying morphological features of known diagnostic and prognostic significance in colorectal cancer.

Narrated Minerva Stories

Narrated stories use multi-step narrations and annotations to walk a viewer through key features of the data. Narrated stories distill the multidisciplinary knowledge encompassed by each dataset into a single product that grounds the scientific analyses in the underlying data and metadata.
