Leeat Keren, PhD

Dr. Keren [CRIS Cancer Foundation Breakthrough Scientist] is combining novel imaging methods with advanced computational analysis, artificial intelligence, and clinical collaborations to investigate how cells within the tumor microenvironment act as a system. She will apply multiplexed imaging and state-of-the-art image analyses to comprehensively characterize cancerous lesions in situ and functionally relate these features to system-level mechanisms such as immune evasion, tumor progression, metastasis, and response to therapy. The ultimate goal is to achieve in-depth understanding of the cancer process to contribute to the development of personalized treatments and diagnostics.
