Abstract:
CyCIF quantifies multiple biomarkers, but panel capacity is compromised by technical challenges including tissue loss. We propose a computational panel reduction, inferring surrogate CyCIF data from a subset of biomarkers. Our model reconstructs the information content from 25 markers using only 9 markers, learning co-expression and morphological patterns. We demonstrate strong correlations in predictions and generalizability across breast and colorectal cancer tissue microarrays, illustrating broader applicability to diverse tissue types.
