About Me

Hi, I am Anvita Pant from India. I am a PhD student at the Department of Molecular Cell Biology at the Weizmann Institute of Science under the supervision of Prof. Tami Geiger.

With an academic foundation in Biotechnology, I have developed a keen interest in exploring the intricate signaling networks that regulate tumor complexity within the tumor microenvironment. My long-term scientific interests lie at the interface of proteogenomics and cancer biology to enhance personalized medicine.

Apart from working in the lab, I enjoy swimming, playing badminton, reading fiction novels and hiking!

Research

I am interested in studying the intra-tumor heterogeneity and interactions within the tumor microenvironment by employing spatial proteomics. This coupled with mass spectrometry-based proteomics will allow me to holistically investigate the spatial organization and the proteomic interplay between tumor and immune cells.
