  Bio The immune system plays a critical role in modulating cancer progression. However, knowledge of the composition, phenotype, organization, and interactions between immune cells and tumor cells is limited. Leeat applies multiplexed imaging to study the interplay between the tumor and the immune system. She develops computational tools that allow to tease various layers of information from rich multiplexed-imaging data and employ them to infer design principles in tumor-immune interactions.

  Current Research and Scholarly Interests I’m interested in understanding the neurobiology of fear. In my graduate work I discovered a novel innate fear response in mice; extended freezing or fleeing into a nest in response to the visual display of an approaching object. I investigated the roles of neural circuits in the retina in driving these behaviors. For my postdoctoral work, I would like to study visual fear behaviors and neural circuitry in primate models due to their similarity to humans.
