Understanding cell-cell interactions with deep learning-based profiling

The aim is to understand how fibroblasts, the most common connective tissue in animals, and cancer cells interact with each other through image analysis. These co-culture imaging screens, containing fibroblasts and cancer cells, will help identify novel signaling mechanism involved in cancer. The objective is to apply deep learning techniques to these image-based assays to study interactions between and identify novel therapeutics that can make cancer therapies more effective.
