Rosenthal and Lu Develop Single-Cell Spatial Pharmacobiology Platform

Eben Rosenthal and Guolan Lu created a new platform called single-cell spatial pharmacobiology to visualize drug-tumor interactions in human solid tumors. The tool reveals how stromal barriers block therapeutic antibodies and helps distinguish between poor drug delivery and low biological activity.
