Dr. Katey Enfield is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of British Columbia (UBC), and a Scientist in the Department of Integrative Oncology at the BC Cancer Research Institute (BCCRI). Dr. Enfield received her PhD from UBC under the supervision of Dr. Wan Lam, where she employed a multiomics approach to discover and characterize oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes.
While she was a trainee at BCCRI, Dr. Enfield was a recipient of the CIHR Banting and Best Canada Graduate Scholarship Doctoral Award and the Lloyd Skarsgard Research Excellence Prize. She undertook a postdoctoral fellowship at the Francis Crick Institute in London, UK, in Professor Charles Swanton's lab, where she studied the reciprocal relationships between cancer-intrinsic genomic alterations and the immune response in the TRACERx study.
Dr. Enfield developed expertise in highly multiplexed approaches for the spatial profiling of the tumour microenvironment, and received the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship from Horizon Europe. She is looking forward to continuing her research in the PRO-Lung research network, with a focus on spatial cancer biology, B cell responses in lung cancer, and immunotherapy response.
