Spotlight on Oncology

Heterogeneity in tumor cells, tumor microenvironments, and therapeutic responses present considerable challenges for researchers investigating cancer. Traditional bulk analysis methods mask individual differences between cells, but new approaches for single cell analyses offer researchers a more complete picture of cancer and new avenues for finding potential therapeutic targets.

In this ebook, we profile five cancer researchers who use single cell techniques to advance our understanding of cancer.
