Mingyao Li, PhD, Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine will be giving a presentation on “AI-driven Smart Spatial Omics.” This presentation is entirely virtual, and will occur on February 4, 2025, 12:00pm - 1:00pm via Zoom. Registration is required, and upon registration, attendees will received a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting.

ABSTRACT: Spatial omics technologies have revolutionized biomedical research by providing detailed, spatially resolved molecular profiles that enhance our understanding of tissue structure and function at unprecedented levels. Histopathology is considered the clinical gold standard for disease diagnosis. However, the integration of histological information in spatial omics data analysis has been limited due to a lack of computational pathology expertise among computational biologists. In this talk, Dr. Li will present several tools that she and her team recently developed to leverage pathology image information, thereby enhancing spatial omics data analysis.
