Dogs are man's best friend, but more than companions, in veterinary science, dogs are being studied to develop better cancer treatments that can translate to the clinic. Today we talk to Dr Cheryl London from Tufts University. She is a Veterinarian and a Vet Oncologist. We discuss how and why canines are used as model animals for cancer and how she worked with NanoString as a part of a consortium to develop the Canine IO panel on the nCounter and the hot-off-the-press Canine Cancer Atlas on the GeoMx.

Dr. Radosevic-Robin is a surgical and molecular pathologist at the Jean Perrin Comprehensive Cancer Center in Clermont-Ferrand, France, She is a senior translational oncology scientist (which includes being a cell biologist too) within the Center and within the Research Unit 1240 of INSERM, The French National Institute for Health & Disease Research and lastly, she is an Associate Research Professor at the University Clermont Auvergne in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
We have a great conversation on why understanding heterogeneity is important, the benefits she sees in using curated panels of the nCounter, and her opinions on the GeoMx DSP and how biologists should consult pathologists for study design and understanding their tissue.

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) & Crohn's Disease (CD) are chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases that have significant effects on patients. They are notoriously hard to treat due to (but not limited to) the following reasons:
Chronic and Relapsing Nature: Both UC and CD are chronic diseases that can have unpredictable and relapsing symptoms, making it difficult to maintain long-term control of the condition.
The complexity of the disease: The underlying mechanisms that cause UC and CD are not fully understood, and the diseases can affect different parts of the digestive tract in different ways, making it challenging to develop a one-size-fits-all treatment approach.
Inter-patient heterogeneity: People with UC and CD can have varying symptoms and respond differently to treatments, making it difficult to determine the most effective approach for each individual.
Side Effects of Medications: The medications used to treat UC and CD can have side effects and may not be effective for everyone. In some cases, long-term use of these medications can also lead to additional health problems.
Dr. Azucena Salas is a collaborator with Dr. Holger Heyn and they released a pre-print on investigating Inflammatory Bowel Disease with both sc-RNA-Seq and the CosMx SMI. We discuss the difficulties in treatment, interpatient heterogeneity, and the discovery of different macrophage populations which seem to add to that heterogeneity and variation in phenotype.

Dr. Sharma's lab focuses on the onco-fetal reprogramming of cancer tissue. In this episode, we discuss his fascination with evolution and these cancer cells which seemingly recall programs from organogenesis a "cell memory", particularly in the liver. We also talk about his thoughts on the upcoming in situ platforms and the data he gathered from his CosMx SMI experiment.

We talk to Richard Klinghoffer Ph.D., CEO and CSO of Presage Biosciences. Presage’s Comparative In Vivo Oncology (CIVO™) system administers micro-doses of multiple drugs and/or combinations simultaneously to distinct trackable positions within a solid tumor. The tumor is then resected and analyzed to understand the microenvironment response to each spatially defined region of exposure. This is in a bid to evaluate early investigational stage cancer drugs in the most relevant context – the cancer patient, without exposing the patient to toxic effects associated with systemic delivery. We talk to Rich about his journey to Presage, the nuances between running a company and running experiments, and the field of drug development and how spatial instruments like the GeoMx DSP will influence that endeavor.

What are the considerations when choosing a technology platform? How can we harness knowledge from other biology to increase our understanding of cancer and other diseases?
Dr. William Hwang worked closely with Dr. Jason Reeves' team at NanoString for his publication that made the August cover of Nature Genetics. We discuss the findings of that publication on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and the importance of asking good questions. He also shares how he connects information from seemingly unrelated fields to advance discovery.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, skeptics have been saying that a SARS-CoV2 infection is like getting the flu... but is that true? Arutha shares his spatial data comparing Influenza-A lung tissue and SARS-CoV2 lung tissue. The results led to the development of a predictor of disease severity for COVID-19. We further discuss the workflow of moving from discovery to translation. Arutha also shares his thoughts on asking the right spatial questions and collaborating with pathologists to navigate and map tissues.

What if we could test drugs and immunotherapies on copies of human tumors on a glass slide? While animal models have been indispensable in the study of disease and therapeutics, they can be incredibly expensive, time consuming, and often do not entirely reflect human biology.
Dr. Andrea Pavesi and Dr. Maxine Lam are looking to change that, producing vascularized tumor organoids at scale in microfluidic devices that recapitulate specific human disease.

Genomics has come such a long way - from radioactive gels, Sanger sequencing, NGS, Single-cell, and now Spatial Transcriptomics. Swati Ranade's career has spanned nearly all of it. She recalls the work she did for her Ph.D. and has always found herself at the bleeding edge of biology. She talks about the Spatial Organ Atlas and how it's a launch platform for biologic discoveries and will drive a deeper understanding of diseases.
The Spatial Navigator Podcast seeks to share how Spatial Biology is revolutionising the understanding and the improvement of the human condition.
