Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCirculating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is DNA that is released by tumor cells into the blood of the host; it is a fraction of all the cell free DNA (cfDNA) that is present. Because ctDNA contains the mutations of the original tumor, it is detectable using next generation sequencing and is an accurate surrogate measure of tumor burden. Therefore, ctDNA is an emerging biomarker in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) that is specific, quantifiable, and can be measured by noninvasive means. Using ctDNA to explore the genetic landscape of pediatric HL and monitor the response of these patients to therapy has never been done before and is my current focus of study.

Affiliate, Rad/Precision Health and Integrated DiagnosticsCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsAdoptive T cell immunotherapy entails engineering immune cells to recognize cancer-specific antigens and target them for destruction. Barriers to efficacy can arise from both tumor antigen related as well as T cell related features. I am interested developing noninvasive molecular tools that enable us to understanding these relationships to improve the clinical application and development of cellular immunotherapeutics.

Clinical Assistant Professor, Pediatrics - Hematology & Oncology
BioDr. Jacquelyn Crane is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Pediatric Hematology Oncology division at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, Stanford University School of Medicine. She received her undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College. She then conducted laboratory-based genetics research for two years in the Pauls lab at Massachusetts General Hospital. She received her medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine and completed her pediatrics residency and pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship training at University of California Los Angeles. As a pediatric hematology & oncology fellow, she engaged in computational analysis of osteosarcoma transcriptomic data in the Graeber Lab and completed a medical education fellowship certificate program. Her primary clinical and research interests include sarcomas and other solid tumors, cancer genomics, clinical trials and medical education. She is the associate program director of the pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship.
