Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Naama Kanarek. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Naama Kanarek is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology at Harvard Medical School, focusing on folate metabolism and its implications in cancer biology. Her research employs genetic perturbations, biochemical assays, functional genomic screens, and mass spectrometry to better understand the role of folate in cellular and whole-body homeostasis. Kanarek's lab investigates one-carbon metabolism, a crucial metabolic pathway involving folate that is essential for RNA and DNA synthesis, identifying how folate cofactor can target vulnerabilities in cancer cells. The long-term goals of the Kanarek lab include enhancing anti-cancer chemotherapy by elucidating folate metabolism and its regulation in both healthy individuals and patients with folate deficiency related disorders.
