Making Space Count: Strategies for Analysing Spatial Omics Data
Ellis PatrickUniversity of Sydney
Extracting biological meaning from spatial omics data requires not just fancy analytical methods, but a solid appreciation for when and where applying them will provide insight. In this talk I will introduce some of the statistical approaches my team has been developing to quantify how changes in cell interactions, spatial heterogeneity, and microenvironment composition are associated with disease. I will also attempt to provide some practical advice on making informed, strategic choices in spatial analysis so as to make complex spatial omics data easier to interpret and more suitable for generating robust, reproducible conclusions.
