Dr. Polyak is a leader in breast cancer research and a pioneer in studying tumors as ecosystems. Her lab focuses on how the tumor microenvironment and intratumoral heterogeneity drive breast cancer evolution, from the earliest stages through metastatic, treatment-resistant disease.
Dr. Keren is a pioneer in spatial proteomics and multiplexed imaging, developing cutting-edge technologies to decode the tumor microenvironment at single-cell resolution.

Her recent work is reshaping how we understand cancer progression: her lab showed that immune organization in sentinel lymph nodes of melanoma patients is prognostic of distant metastases,

Seehawer et al. show that deletion of Kmt2c or Kmt2d promotes brain metastasis in mouse models of triple-negative breast cancer due to altered KDM6A activity and upregulated MMP3 expression, which may...
Human pathology is a result of complex processes that depend on the interplay between malignant cells, stroma, and the immune system, which can act both to suppress and promote various diseases, inclu...
