A spatial approach to finding cancerous chemicals

Justin Colacino (left) is an Associate Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health (MI, USA). His lab’s interdisciplinary research focuses on the role of environmental factors in chronic disease development, investigating at the interface between toxicology, epidemiology and data science. They incorporate cutting-edge single-cell and spatial techniques to explore how chemicals that we are exposed to daily change our risk of disease, such as cancer. What types of spatial analysis techniques do you use in your research? We have incorporated a range of different spatial methods. However, we have become quite fond of...
