Genevieve C. Kendall, PhD, is a principal investigator in the Center for Childhood Cancer 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 PhD 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 cross-species comparative oncology to delineate the underlying biology of the disease and then apply that knowledge to identify novel molecular targets. The Kendall lab’s ultimate goal is to apply their models as discovery-based tools and to derive mechanistic insights to improve outcomes for children with cancer.
