Cameron Flower
Postdoctoral Fellow
Department of Data Science, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Cameron received his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where his thesis work was supervised by Forest White at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. In his graduate research, Cameron studied how tumor cell-intrinsic signaling networks contribute to targeted therapy failure using mass spectrometry-based proteomics, drug sensitivity assays, and statistical approaches for analysis of high-dimensional molecular data. In his postdoctoral work, Cameron is interested in the biology underlying the earliest stages of cancer. Using experimental zebrafish models of tumor initiation, his research aims to clarify the earliest molecular events promoting the transition from premalignant to malignant tissue, which may identify opportunities for early cancer interception. His work is jointly supervised by Leonard Zon at Boston Children’s Hospital.
