SUMMARY:DDLSS: Yardena Samuels "The various layers of intratumor heterogene
 ity and their impact on tumor immunity"
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Yardena Samuels received her BSc from Cambridge Universit
 y\, UK in 1993\, and earned an MSc in immunology at the Hebrew University 
 of Jerusalem\, in 1997. She completed a PhD at Imperial College\, London i
 n 2002. She worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Prof Vogelstein’s laborat
 ory at Johns Hopkins University from 2003 to 2006. She served as an assist
 ant professor at NIH before joining the Weizmann Institute in 2012. Today 
 she is the director of the EKARD Institute for Cancer Diagnosis Research a
 nd is the incumbent of the Knell Family Professorial Chair. Prof. Samuels 
 is the recipient of the Pezcoller Foundation - EACR Cancer Researcher Awar
 d\, the Youdim Family Prize for Excellence in Cancer Research\, has recent
 ly been nominated an EMBO member and is the President Elect for the Europe
 an Association for Cancer Research Prof. Samuels’ focus involves the ide
 ntification of gene mutations that play a role in the progression of cutan
 eous melanoma. Her aim is to delineate ideal protein target combinations i
 n melanoma to achieve lasting disease control. Her lab was part of the TCG
 A workgroup who published the Genomic Classification of Cutaneous Melanoma
 . Her lab has developed novel methods to identify cancer neo-antigens usin
 g genetic and proteomic methods. She has further been characterizing the i
 mmune response to these neo-antigens and developed relevant mouse models t
 o investigate the role tumor heterogeneity plays in the tumor immune respo
 nse.
