Understanding cancer biology through a single molecular lens often leaves critical mechanisms unresolved. Increasingly, researchers are combining complementary molecular layers to build a more comprehensive view of disease—connecting genetic, epigenetic, proteomic, and spatial signals to better understand tumor development, heterogeneity, and progression. This symposium brings together scientists applying integrated multiomic approaches to address complex biological questions in cancer research. By featuring perspectives from researchers at different stages of their scientific careers, the session highlights how connecting diverse molecular signals into a unified analytical view is driving biological discovery and translational investigation. Together, these perspectives illustrate how examining cancer biology from multiple, complementary molecular angles supports a more comprehensive understanding of cancer biology.
