Precision Oncology · Single-Cell Multi-Omics

Every tumor is a universe of cells. Treat it that way.

1Cell brings single-cell multi-omics to precision oncology — resolving tumor heterogeneity, clonal evolution and the microenvironment one cell at a time, so therapy can follow the biology.

The problem with averages

Bulk sequencing blends a tumor into a single number.

A tumor is not one disease — it is an evolving ecosystem of malignant subclones, immune cells, fibroblasts and vasculature. Averaging them hides the rare resistant clone that decides whether a treatment works or fails.

Single-cell technologies profile each cell on its own, revealing the populations, states and interactions that bulk assays smooth away.

Bulk view — one blended signal

Single-cell view — distinct cell states

Layers of the cell

Multi-omics reads the whole cell, not just one molecule.

Measuring several molecular layers in the same cell links genotype to regulation to phenotype — the connections that explain how a tumor behaves.

RNA

Transcriptomics

scRNA-seq captures gene expression programs that define cell identity, state and response to therapy.

ATAC

Epigenomics

Chromatin accessibility maps the regulatory landscape and the transcription factors driving malignant states.

Pro

Surface proteomics

CITE-seq pairs RNA with antibody-derived tags to anchor cell types in the markers clinicians already use.

DNA

Genomics

Single-cell DNA and mutation calling trace copy-number changes and clonal lineages through the tumor.

TCR

Immune repertoire

Paired TCR/BCR sequencing reveals clonally expanded T and B cells reacting to the tumor.

XY

Spatial context

Spatial transcriptomics places each cell in its neighborhood, showing who sits next to whom in the tissue.

From biopsy to insight

A single-cell precision oncology workflow

1

Sample

Biopsy, resection or blood — dissociated to viable single cells or nuclei.

2

Profile

Barcoded droplet or plate-based assays across RNA, chromatin and protein.

3

Integrate

Quality control, batch correction and joint embedding of modalities.

4

Interpret

Clustering, clone inference, pathway and cell–cell communication analysis.

5

Act

Biomarkers and hypotheses that inform therapy selection and trial design.

Where it matters

Clinical questions single-cell data can answer.

Tumor heterogeneity & clonal evolution

Identify subclones, track how they expand under treatment pressure, and find the vulnerabilities shared across them.

Therapy resistance

Detect rare drug-tolerant cell states before they drive relapse, and design combinations that close the escape routes.

Tumor microenvironment & immunotherapy

Map exhausted T cells, myeloid suppressors and stromal niches to understand — and predict — checkpoint blockade response.

Minimal residual disease & monitoring

Follow disease burden and cell-state shifts over time to detect progression earlier than imaging alone.

Precision oncology asks which therapy for which patient.
Single-cell multi-omics shows which cells decide the answer.
