Modern computational tools for data collection and analysis have revolutionized how scientists are able to research and respond to problems. While the growing number of large, public data sets is a great boon for researchers, the accessibility of these resources can introduce quality and security...
January 11, 2022
Immunotherapies are revolutionizing modern cancer care, but at present, many technologies do not accurately quantify the myriad soluble proteins in the tumor microenvironment which impact immunity. This, in turn, contributes to the pervasiveness of patient resistance and immune-related adverse events...
