Jennifer Beane-Ebel, PhD

Jennifer Beane-Ebel is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine in the Section of Computational Biomedicine. She also has a secondary appointment in the Bioinformatics program within the Boston University Faculty of Computing and Data Sciences. Research in her laboratory is focused on developing and implementing computational and statistical methodologies to expand our knowledge of the molecular changes that occur in the airway field on injury associated with smoking and lung cancer. Her group uses bulk and single cell RNA sequencing, spatial proteomics and transcriptomics, and pathology image analysis to 1) understand smoking and lung cancer associated changes in the airway field of injury to develop relatively non-invasive multimodal biomarkers for early lung cancer detection; 2) identify molecular events associated with the development and progression of lung premalignant lesions to identify predictors of lung cancer risk and novel candidates for targeted and preventive therapy; and 3) identify molecular events associated with indolent or aggressive features of lung tumors to develop multimodal biomarkers to predict lung cancer recurrence.
