Svetlana Semina, PhD, is Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at UIC. Her research interest is in hormone-dependent breast cancer. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and patient-derived organoids, she studies the contribution of intratumoral heterogeneity in the development of more aggressive stem-like and therapy-resistant phenotypes, disease progression and racial disparity. She utilizes various bioinformatic tools to find better therapeutic options for patients with more aggressive breast cancer and make medicine more personalized.
