In the course, learn how to overcome motivated reasoning in others through your communication. Some strategies include proposing thought-provoking activities to your audience or tasking them with motivational interviewing.

In this post, I’m going to talk about five key technological advancements that have advanced research in cancer biology. These technological advances have enhanced our understanding of cancer biology, how we diagnose and treat cancer, or both.

How can the latest spatial biology techniques help you succeed in your research? Spatial Biology was named method of the year by Nature Methods in 2020 for its potential to revolutionize our understanding of molecular tissue architecture. The method uses two common molecular biology techniques in tandem: immunofluorescence and next-generation sequencing. Therefore, spatial biology approaches provide information simultaneously on both transcriptional dynamics and location of gene expression within the cell.

How can researchers use spatial biology to understand the molecular diversity of breast cancers? One solution is to use NanoString® GeoMx® Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). To help advance the field of spatial biology to understand breast cancer, specifically using the GeoMx technology to identify biomarkers, a group of researchers called the GeoMx Breast Cancer Consortium wrote a paper detailing best practices for using this technology.
