From MGIOct 29 2024 When I first received the diagnosis of bilateral breast cancer in June 2023, my first reaction was “oh this is sooooooo interesting, it would be perfect to do spatial transcriptomics on these samples and visualise with VR-Omics”. It was only when I saw the shocked face of my family, friends and colleagues that I realised that “interesting” is probably not the right word here and that I began to realise how heavy this journey will be.

This is because every cancer is different. By seeing exactly which genes are turned on, or expressed, and exactly where they are located in the sample, this can tell us about the cause of the cancer. VR-Omics empowers all researchers to explore spatial gene expression patterns in a user-friendly virtual reality environment or via a desktop application.

I would also like to bring attention to my colleagues such as A/Professor David Elliott, who is looking for drugs that will protect the heart from the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs. I know one day this will have a massive impact on children and adults, like myself, who undergo chemotherapy to treat their cancer but may have other health complications following chemo.​​​​​​​
