Kidney transplant leader Robert Richie is mourned

He helped build one of the leading kidney transplant programs in the country, both in terms of the number of transplants performed annually, and in long-term organ function and patient survival rates.

An AI-driven rendering and analysis of a holotomography-based 3D reconstruction of a tumor tissue sample derived from a spatial molecular experimental platform. Cancer cells (blue), stromal cells (green), and immune cells (red) are highlighted, while the extracellular matrix (ECM) appears in translucent green with a green arrow indicating its orientation. By integrating spatial molecular measurements, this approach offers single-cell and subcellular functional characterization, providing key insights into cellular interactions and communication in a three-dimensional context to deepen our understanding of the tissue’s architecture and composition.
