December 2023 Updates
The lab has also received grants in 2023 from:
-the Hevolution foundation to study how aging impacts spatial behaviors within epithelial tissues (with Olga Anczukow)
-an NCI/NIA grant to use spatial transcriptomics and long read sequencing to study aging pre-neoplastic tissues (with Olga Anczukow)
-an NCI supplement awarded to Jill Rubinstein to develop algorithms to classify pediatric sarcomas from image data
-a JAX Director's Innovation award to study spontaneous tumors in aged mice (with Ron Korstanje, Paul Robson, and Karolina Palucka)
-a DoD grant to study spatial architecture of cutaneous t-cell lymphoma (with Pei-Ling Chen from Moffitt Cancer Center), and renewal of our PDXNet U24 Coordination Center grant.
-a Renewal of PDXNet U24 Data Commons and Coordination Center (September 2023)
-The lab has also neem a member of the NIH Cellular Senescence Network, for which Dr. Chuang co-leads the Data Core for the KAPP-Sen U54 performing combinational spatial proteomics, spatial transcriptomics, and H&E image-based interpretation of kidney, placenta, and pancreas tissues since 2021.
Digital Pathology Work Featured in Pathology News (Sept 2021)
Pathology News interview in which we discuss the intersections of digital pathology, cancer genetics, and multi-omic spatial profiling.PIVOT Consortium (Sept 2021)
To address the need for increased preclinical testing and approval of pediatric cancer treatments, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is funding the Pediatric Preclinical In Vivo Testing Program (PIVOT), a new initiative which will be coordinated by The Jackson Laboratory. Our lab will be co-leading the PIVOT Coordination Center with JAX colleagues Carol Bult and Emily Jocoy, as well as Dennis Dean (Seven Bridges Genomics).

PDXNet Worked Highlighted by the National Cancer Institute (March 2020)
Our team's work for the PDXNet Data Commons and Coordination Center -- especially led by Xingyi Woo, Anuj Srivastava, Mike Lloyd, and Steve Neuhauser, and in conjunction with Seven Bridges Genomics -- was highlighted by the National Cancer Institute. Great job, team!
