Spatial Biology for Risk Stratification of Colorectal Cancer – Prof. Andreas Moor (ETHZ) and Prof. Viktor Kölzer (pathologist, USB)

Stratifying colon cancer risk through imaging and transcription profiles

In order to identify prognostic biomarkers for stage II colorectal cancers (CRC), the investigators will use computational approaches to combine advanced molecular ‘omics data with histological images from 1800 past CRC patients. The goal will be to identify prognostic markers in networks, and to validate these on new cohorts of patients. This is an advanced digital pathology project.
