From this holistic perspective, the field has come to appreciate that the spatial context of the tumor microenvironment in intact tissues not only enables a more granular definition of disease, but also the design of more personalized and effective therapies. In spite of this promise, spatial context-preserving cytometry paradigms like multiplex tissue imaging (MTI) are beset with many challenges related to cost, computational complexity, and study design. The discovery and development of the next generation of biomarkers in cancer systems biology will require computational tools which can cope with the increasing scale and complexity of our measurements, and the work we share within serves as a step toward achieving that requirement. 000009293 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009293 650__ $$aTumor Microenvironment$$039473 000009293 650__ $$aNeoplasms$$022758 000009293 650__ $$aArtificial Intelligence$$015109 000009293 650__ $$aSystems Biology$$036214 000009293 650__ $$aMachine Learning$$011449 000009293 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009293 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000009293 7001_ $$aBurlingame, Erik A. 000009293 8564_ $$9f0108c93-43ff-48da-821d-01d82250144d$$s66956611$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9293/files/Burlingame.Erik.2021.pdf 000009293 905__ $$a/rest/prod/x3/46/d4/91/x346d491q 000009293 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9293$$pstudent-work 000009293 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
