Kate Carbone is an industry postdoc and studies immune cell biology across scales, from biochemical reconstitution to in vivo tumor models. She’s currently focusing on cancer immunology. She earned her PhD from UCSF in the lab of Ron Vale and published preprint papers as a grad student. At the company where she currently works, Kate leads a preprint journal club where she presents and summarizes different findings and discusses those results.
