In collaboration with Dr. Xavier Intes, an optical imaging expert, Dr. David Corr, a 3D bioprinting expert, and Dr. John Lamar, an expert in tumor biology, we are developing new imaging methods to measure and assess heterogeneity of receptor-ligand binding (target engagement) and organelle morphology in 3D spheroids and 3D bioprinted breast tumor systems.
