Understanding tumor heterogeneity is a major challenge that was recognized as one of the first Cancer Grand Challenges, with a call to provide solutions to visualize tumor heterogeneity. The Rosetta team took on this challenge, exploiting advances in spatial-omics approaches centered around mass spectrometry imaging to map tumor heterogeneity at the cellular and molecular scales with different levels of resolution.
