Postdoctoral researcher Angela Jarrett has been selected as the 2018 recipient of the Laurence P. Clarke Young Investigator Award from the National Cancer Institute's Quantitative Imaging Network Program.
Angela Jarrett, a postdoctoral researcher working in the Center for Computational Oncology with Professor Thomas Yankeelov, has been selected as the 2018 recipient of the Laurence P. Clarke Young Investigator Award from the National Cancer Institute's Quantitative Imaging Network Program.
Jarett received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Florida State University in mathematics, specializing in biomedical applications.Jarrett's research focuses on developing mathematical models of tumor growth for breast cancer. The primary goal is to build a model that can capture the tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy using patient-specific DW-MRI and DCE-MRI data. Specifically, she has been working on using DCE-MRI data to approximate the delivery and distribution of drugs in the tumor tissue according to individual patients' therapy regimens to improve the model's predictive ability.
