Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive primary brain cancer with few effective therapies. Stereotactic needle biopsies are routinely used for diagnosis; however, the feasibility and utility of investigative biopsies to monitor treatment response remains ill-defined. Here, we demonstrate the depth of data generation possible from routine stereotactic needle core biopsies and perform highly resolved multi-omics analyses, including single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, phosphoproteomics, T-cell clonotype analysis, and MHC Class I immunopeptidomics on standard biopsy tissue obtained intra-operatively. We also examine biopsies taken from different locations and provide a framework for measuring spatial and genomic heterogeneity. Finally, we investigate the utility of stereotactic biopsies as a method for generating patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Multimodal dataset integration highlights spatially mapped immune cell-associated metabolic pathways and validates inferred cell-cell ligand-receptor interactions. In conclusion, investigative biopsies provide data-rich insight into disease processes and may be useful in evaluating treatment responses.
