Spatial approaches to cancer research
New multiomics technologies enable the detection of thousands of cancer cells and molecular biomarkers within a spatial context and are accelerating cancer and tumor heterogeneity research.
These spatial omics methods are revolutionizing how we understand tumor biology and have the potential to drive novel therapeutic approaches for cancer patients with poor prognoses.

Sabrina Lewis
PhD Student
The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute
Sabrina is a Ph.D. student at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) of Medical Research. Her Ph.D. project focuses on the development of spatial ‘omics methods using emerging and multidimensional microscopy techniques. Using these methods, Sabrina hopes to gain biological insight into breast cancer and metastatic disease. Prior to commencing her Ph.D., Sabrina graduated with a Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne and following this, undertook an Honours degree at WEHI where she used 3-dimensional imaging to study angiogenesis in the developing mouse eye.
