报告内容:High-resolution spatial transcriptomics (ST) and multiplexed imaging are transforming our understanding of the tumor microenvironment, but their cost, data sparsity, and computational burden still limit routine use. In this talk, I will present two complementary computational frameworks, FineST and SparseAEH, that together provide a scalable pipeline from standard histopathology to nuclei-resolved maps of cell communication, phenotypes, and gene expression programs. FineST uses deep contrastive learning to fuse ST with matched histology via histology foundation models, enabling accurate nuclei segmentation, high-resolution RNA imputation, and ligand-receptor analysis at single-nucleus resolution. Across VisiumHD and Xenium datasets in multiple cancer types, FineST consistently improves RNA imputation, cell-type prediction, and the discovery of cell-cell communication. Complementing this, SparseAEH addresses the computational bottleneck in discovering spatial expression “histologies” from dense ST data by using a Gaussian process mixture model with block-wise sparse covariance, enabling scalable spatial gene clustering with substantial speedups while preserving accuracy. Together, these components form a coherent system that integrates histology, spatial omics, and scalable probabilistic modeling to deliver nuclei-resolved, interpretable spatial maps of cell communication and expression patterns for biological discovery and clinical translation.
This talk is based on joint work with Tianjie Wang, under the supervision of Prof. Yuanhua Huang.
