Biography
Layane Duarte e Souza is a biologist with a background in breast cancer molecular biology. She has developed her career in breast cancer development and mechanisms of treatment resistance. Currently a Ph.D. student, she uncovers the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer to determine the T lymphocytes landscape in each molecular subtype. This immune population as well the classic breast cancer markers ER, PR and HER2 will be targeted through Raman spectroscopy multiplex imaging (herein described). This way, understanding the immune profile of each subtype will support the safe implementation of immunotherapy for breast cancer patients.
