  • Thursday, February 22, 2024

Unlock the potential of cutting-edge technology in oncology research. Dive into the latest breakthroughs in multiplex immunohistochemistry (IHC) during this upcoming webinar about Veracyte’s Brightplex® technology, a prominent example of multiplex IHC advancements. This webinar will explore innovative features that elevate the capabilities of this technology, providing a deeper understanding of not only the tumor microenvironment (TME) but also the critical imperative for biomarkers in the context of clinical trials.

Brightplex’s new features incorporate in situ hybridization (ISH) probes for the detection of RNA transcripts alongside traditional multiplex IHC biomarkers. This innovative approach allows the simultaneous detection of several protein expressions and RNA transcripts, facilitating a more complete understanding of the complex molecular dynamics within the TME. The technology is particularly relevant when no or poor antibodies are available for a specific target. Complex cell phenotypes can still be analyzed by combining RNA transcripts and proteins. The featured speakers will showcase how this multimodal technology can significantly enhance biomarker studies.

Adding another layer to this advancement is a new spatial analysis tool, offering the ability to analyze the distances between multiple cell populations of interest on sequential slides. This feature enables researchers and clinicians to explore the spatial relationships within the tumor, providing crucial information for a deeper understanding of the TME.

This webinar is in line with the ever-growing need for biomarkers in clinical trials. Biomarkers serve as indispensable tools for patient stratification, treatment response monitoring and overall trial success. The integration of advanced multiplex IHC technology not only expedites the identification of relevant biomarkers but also provides a more comprehensive understanding of their spatial context within the TME.

This technology goes beyond conventional approaches, empowering researchers to decipher intricate cellular interactions and identify biomarkers with unprecedented precision. The webinar will showcase real-world case studies, illustrating how these advancements have already made an impact in oncology research.
