Webinar on TumorDecon: A digital cytometry software

About this Class

Dear Colleagues,
  
This webinar will introduce TumorDecon, a computational tool that's at an early stage of contributing to the intersection of bioinformatics and oncology.
 
TumorDecon aims to simplify the complex nature of tumors by utilizing deconvolution algorithms to estimate the percentages of various immune cells from gene expression profiles of the bulk of cells.
During the presentation, the following will be discussed:
 
•    Basic overview of TumorDecon, touching upon how it processes transcriptomic data to offer a glimpse into the cellular composition of tumors.
•    Preliminary applications of TumorDecon, drawing from a few examples and datasets to illustrate its potential utility in research and possibly in clinical contexts.
•    Live demonstration of TumorDecon's software, aiming to provide a clear picture of how users can navigate and utilize the tool.
 
Audience engagement is encouraged to exchange ideas and discuss how tools like TumorDecon can be improved and might fit into the broader landscape of cancer research and treatment.
