DESCRIPTION:A significant frontier in Spatial Biology is the construction 
 of an integrated view of tissue function within its native environment at 
 the cellular and molecular levels. In this seminar\, we will explore how t
 he combination of nanometre-scale imaging modalities\, AI segmentation alg
 orithms\, and protein-protein interaction mapping in human tissue models i
 s providing a novel perspective on airway biology and creating opportuniti
 es for translational medicine research. The primary focus will be on the r
 espiratory epithelium\, a critical tissue that safeguards our lungs by ser
 ving as the first line of defence against bacteria\, viruses\, and particu
 late matter. We will provide examples illustrating how this multimodal spa
 tial biology approach is revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying air
 way protection from pathogens.
