Mapping Spatial Heterogeneity of the Tumor Immune Microenvironment and its Contribution to Immune Evasion in Pediatric Rhabdoid Tumors


Momentum Fellow (2024-PRESENT)

Elizabeth Garfinkle, PhD, Nationwide Children’s Hospital

Elizabeth Garfinkle, PhD

Dr. Garfinkle will use state-of-the-art genomic technologies to study each individual tumor and immune cell in pediatric rhabdoid tumor patient samples and map the location of these cells in relation to one another, a resolution not previously achieved with traditional genomic studies.
