Highly multiplexed single-cell analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cancer tissue
The paper summarizes an interdisciplinary multi-year development of a novel multiplexing method that allows for the imaging of 50 or more protein targets in paraffin embedded tissue sections. Dr Rittscher led the image analysis work necessary for preprocessing, registration and the computation of the subcellular tissue map. Based on this work Dr Rittscher has been invited to the HHMI Janelia Farms Research Campus Conference: What Can Computer Vision Do for Neuroscience and Vice Versa? (2008, 2010). The team conducted preclinical studies with pharmaceutical partners including Eli Lilly and Company The developed process is currently being commercialized by GE Healthcare.
