Eileen Carpenter, MD, PhD, received her undergraduate chemical engineering degree from the Cooper Union and her combined MD/PhD from SUNY Stony Brook University through the Medical Scientist Training Program. She then joined the University of Michigan and completed her internal medicine residency and gastroenterology fellowship through their fast-track research pathway. She recently joined faculty at the University of Michigan and has part-time appointment at the University of Michigan affiliate, VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. Dr. Carpenter’s recent research accomplishments include establishing a pipeline using endoscopic fine needle biopsies of pancreatic tumors for a wide variety of techniques, including single-cell RNA sequencing, mass cytometry, and organoid culture. She has published in several journals including Nature Cancer, Gastroenterology, and Clinical Cancer Research. The Carpenter lab is currently focused on extending existing pipelines to study chemoresistance using longitudinal matched samples in patients pre- and post-chemotherapy, with the goal of identifying new immunotherapeutic targets to overcome chemo-refractory disease in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
