Overview

Katherine A. Hoadley is affiliated with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the intersection of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine, with an emphasis on cancer-related studies. The scientist's work spans several subfields including molecular biology, cancer research, oncology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, and surgery.

The central topics in Hoadley's research include cancer genomics and diagnostics, breast cancer treatment studies, cancer immunotherapy and biomarkers, HER2/EGFR in cancer research, gene expression and cancer classification, epigenetics and DNA methylation, and lung cancer treatments and mutations.

Among Hoadley's recent publications are:

  • Proteogenomic characterization of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (2021, Cell)
  • Genomic basis for RNA alterations in cancer (2020, Nature)
  • Comprehensive Analysis of Genetic Ancestry and Its Molecular Correlates in Cancer (2020, Cancer Cell)
  • A deep learning system accurately classifies primary and metastatic cancers using passenger mutation patterns (2020, Nature Communications)
  • An Integrated TCGA Pan-Cancer Clinical Data Resource to Drive High-Quality Survival Outcome Analytics (2021, UNC Libraries)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Katherine A. Hoadley include Charles M. Perou, Melissa A. Troester, Lisa A. Carey, Alina M. Hamilton, and Peter W. Laird.

Hoadley has published extensively in several venues with the most frequent being UNC Libraries, followed by Cancer Research, Nature Communications, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and arXiv (Cornell University).
