Hannah Carter is a researcher specializing in Computational Cancer Genomics at the University of California, San Diego. Her work focuses on understanding the genetic determinants of anti-tumor immunity and the variations in immune genes that affect individual cancer susceptibility and therapy response. By analyzing matched tumor-normal genomic data, she has shown that individual immune genotypes can significantly shape tumor evolution and impact the tumor immune microenvironment. Committed to advancing precision immunotherapies, her research also involves the development of experimental and computational approaches to examine genetic variants' effects on biological processes at the single-cell level. Carter's contributions to cancer genomics include discerning inherited mutations and their role in tumor development, refining the identification of cancer drivers versus passenger mutations, and exploring the implications of genetic variation in human health.
