Tissues, organs and organ systems are composed of interacting cells (the cellome). We discuss the emergence of an omics approach that we refer to as cellomics. It enables cellome-wide analysis in whole-organ or whole-body specimens, based on advanced three-dimensional imaging and image analysis technology. We think that cellomics will pave the way for the incorporation of cellular, intercellular and spatial information across millions of cells in our body.
