She then moved to the US for a postdoctoral appointment at the University of Maryland Baltimore, where she worked on normal tissue radiation injury. At the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation, Dr. Carter has built a translational pediatric neuro-oncology research program in partnership with Dr. Derek Hanson, Director of Pediatric Neuro-oncology, Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital, Hackensack University Medical Center.
Dr. Carter possesses a rare translational background that combines expertise in bioanalytical chemistry, clinical histopathology and biomedical science. Her group are using next generation imaging techniques to develop a deep understanding of the biological and transitional states of tumor cells as shaped by their spatiotemporal location within patient tumors and preclinical models. Their focus is on targeting lipid signaling and metabolism for less toxic and more efficacious treatments in highly aggressive pediatric brain tumors. In addition to using mass spectrometry imaging for intratumoral pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies to identify more efficacious treatment regimens that can be rapidly translated into clinic gain.
