SpatialMETA: A Novel Framework for Integrating Spatial Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Data

ZJU-UoE Institute, Zhejiang University, Mentor: Prof. Wanlu Liu
2024-09 – 2025-04

    • Conducted large-scale benchmarking of 7 integration methods (spaVAE, scVI, scPoli, …) across 6 multi-batch spatial transcriptomic-metabolomic datasets.
    • Developed quantitative batch integration assessment system:
      • Basic ST assessment (Continuity (CHAOS, PAS, …), Marker score (Moran’s, Geary’s, …), Specificity score (Specificity, Logistic regression, …)
      • Biological conservation (ASW, Cell-type LISI (cLISI), …)
      • Batch correction (Batch ASW, Integration LISI (iLISI), …)
      • Reconstruction fidelity (Cosine Similarity, Pearson Correlation)
