COVID-19 is a complex multi-phase disease in which the immune system causes disease exacerbation in some patients. This talk covers how digital pathology and tissue multiplexing techniques can be combined to effectively investigate the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 to better inform the optimal selection and scheduling of therapeutic approaches.
