Pleased to share our latest #TranslationalScience review in European Urology Ever wondered re the various #SpatialBiology techs currently available (at time of writing!) & how they can be used to understand cancer better (esp GU Ca)? This article is for you! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Just out in The BMJ, our "Uncertainties in Practice" article on #LATP vs #TRUS We highlight evidence so far, discordance between recommendations (European Association of Urology (EAU) vs NICE vs Amer. Urol. Assn.) & need for nuance (!) Not long now until TRANSLATE Trial... bmj.com/content/387/bm…👈

"We all love the pretty pictures we get from #SpatialTranscriptomics but the real value lies in the ability to precisely determine the cellular composition & cell-cell relationships - not possible with bulk RNA or even scRNA approaches" 💯% well said Omer Ali Bayraktar! 👏 #FoG2025
