Katherine J. Ladner's work centers on cancer biology and experimental cancer therapies, including CRISPR-engineered immune cells for treating metastatic colorectal cancer, Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) as a physical therapy for cancers like mesothelioma and glioblastoma, and how cancer cells communicate via structures called tunneling nanotubes. Her research combines lab experiments, deep learning image analysis, and early-phase clinical trials to study tumor behavior and evaluate new treatment approaches. This work is relevant to students interested in cancer immunotherapy, biophysical cancer cell analysis, and translational oncology research.
