This session focuses on career progression, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with the four Award Winners in an informal, highly interactive format. Each expert will begin with a 7 minute personal introduction, sharing their career path, key decisions, and lessons learned. A moderator may pose follow-up questions to deepen the discussion and draw out practical insights. The floor is then opened to the audience for an open Q&A, encouraging participants to ask questions in an “Ask Me Anything”–style exchange. Designed as a fully interactive session, this format features no slides and no screen, prioritizing conversation, accessibility, and direct engagement between Award Winners and participants.

This symposium addresses the critical shift toward multi-resolution, multi-modal approaches that enable the precise deconstruction of the tumor ecosystem to achieve a system-level understanding of cancer progression. The session will begin with an overview of emerging innovations expanding the resolution and scope of cancer research, followed by expert‑led research demonstrating the utility of spatial transcriptomics for tumor microenvironment analysis and high‑plex functional proteomics for uncovering protein‑level drivers of cancer biology. Building on these applications and using Illumina Connected Multiomics (ICM) as a framework, an R&D‑led technical deep dive will examine analytical considerations for single‑omic and integrated multiomic analysis across single‑cell, spatial, transcriptomic, proteomic, genomic, and epigenomic data. Through practical examples, this session will demonstrate how AI guided workflows, structured data exploration, and intuitive visualisation make advanced multiomic analysis accessible, enabling researchers to confidently apply multiomic approaches in their own studies. Join us to explore how these multidimensional results, powered by high‑fidelity sequencing and accessible data analytics are providing the clarity needed to decipher the functional drivers of cancer and advance the next wave of precision oncology.

Biology is complex, and the mechanisms that drive biological systems are challenging to decipher. Examining any single layer of biology can provide a valuable perspective, but it reveals only part of the picture. Bruker Spatial Biology delivers best-in-class solutions designed to work together as a cohesive ecosystem. By providing high fidelity resolution and information depth across layers of biological complexity, Bruker Spatial Biology enables insights that cannot be achieved by single layer approaches, accelerating discovery through translational cancer research. Prof. Pagani will exemplify how his laboratory is using CosMx Same-Cell Multiomics to determine metastatic cell states in colorectal cancer.

γδ T cells are increasingly recognized for their role in anti-tumor immunity and Vδ1 T cells have been reported as the predominant γδ subset infiltrating the microenvironment of several cancers. However, their contribution in this setting remains unclear and flow cytometry alone has provided limited insights into their functionality. In this symposium, Prof. Domenico Mavilio (IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital, Milan, Italy) will present how transcriptome and repertoire profiling at bulk and single cell resolution can clarify γδ T-cell states and provide clues on tumor escape mechanisms. By linking transcriptional state, repertoire, and therapeutic response, this work underscores the potent antitumor role of Vδ1 T cells in endometrial cancer and highlights their potential as therapeutic targets to enhance anti–PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor strategies in the future.
