Elizabeth Chun

Elizabeth Chun is a Research Associate in Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School. She joined the Park Lab in June 2022, where she focuses on cancer genomics and contributes to the Common Fund Data Ecosystem project. Her doctoral research at the University of British Columbia involved molecular characterization of pediatric malignant rhabdoid tumors using integrative genomic approaches, revealing potential immunotherapy applications. She previously worked at the Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre on projects like The Cancer Genome Atlas and CIRM-HALT leukemia therapy initiatives.

Her research emphasizes cancer genomics, epigenetics, and translational medicine. Key areas include molecular subgroup identification in tumors, immune response dynamics, and leukemia stem cell biology. Chun's work bridges genomic data analysis with clinical applications, particularly in pediatric cancers and immunotherapy strategies.
