Abstract
During the past decade, bioinformatics-driven approaches have been emerged to be a powerful means for delineating mechanisms of dynamic, complex cell-cell interactions within tissue microenvironment and for discovering novel targets for drug repositioning and development. This short talk will present an overview of a multicellular systems biology strategy to understand the underlying cell-cell communication within tumor microenvironment using cell-specific, single cell, and spatial transcriptomics, multiplex imaging, and multi-cellular crosstalk modeling in a comprehensive, unbiased manner.  We will provide examples of applications targeting tumor microenvironment of different organs, such as the bones, brain, lungs, and ovaries to illustrate the power of systems biology modeling for hypotheses generation, tumor heterogeneity delineation, and target and drug discovery, as well as ongoing extensions to other diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
