Genevieve C. Kendall, PhD, is a principal investigator in the Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Diseases at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Dr. Kendall received her Ph.D. in Molecular Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), before performing her postdoctoral studies focused on pediatric oncology with Dr. James Amatruda at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Kendall’s research is focused on developing basic and translational models of pediatric sarcomas—devastating and aggressive solid tumors with limited therapeutic options. Specifically, her group studies fusion-oncogene driven rhabdomyosarcoma using cell culture and transgenic zebrafish systems to delineate the underlying biology of the disease and then apply that knowledge to identify novel molecular targets. Dr. Kendall’s ultimate goal is to apply her models as discovery based tools to derive mechanistic insights for improving outcomes for children with cancer.
