Biography
Research Interests
Dr. Carpenter’s recent research accomplishments include establishing a pipeline using endoscopic fine needle biopsies of pancreatic tumors for a wide variety of techniques, including single-cell RNA sequencing, mass cytometry, and organoid culture. The Carpenter lab is currently focused on extending existing pipelines to study chemoresistance using longitudinal matched samples in patients pre- and post-chemotherapy, with the goal of identifying new immunotherapeutic targets to overcome chemo-refractory disease in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
