Beatrice Grauman is a PhD student in Vicković Lab at the New York Genome Center. She received her undergraduate degree from Wellesley College in 2021 with honors in biology and political science. She spent four years in the Hemann Lab at the MIT Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research investigating classical chemotherapy and CAR-T therapy resistance as an undergraduate and later as a technician. Before applying to graduate school, she studied viral infection in the Tarakhovsky Lab at The Rockefeller University. Now in the Vicković Lab at the New York Genome Center, Beatrice is interested in building a spatially resolved roadmap of cancer evolution and the potential to shape disease trajectory through genetic perturbation. Her work focuses on understanding how tumor–microenvironment interactions drive cellular plasticity, and leveraging technologies like CRISPR screening and spatial transcriptomics to identify context-specific vulnerabilities.
