Early life and education
editGardiner is a first generation American.[1] She was a doctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she worked on HIV cell-to-cell transmission. She studied how the cytoplasmic tail of the envelope was involved with forming the virological synapse.[citation needed]
Research and career
editGardiner is a postdoctoral fellow at the Fox Chase Cancer Center, where she works with Edna Cukierman. Her research considers the microenvironment that surrounds tumors, with a particular focus on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.[2] Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a survival rate of 10% and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. She believes that these microenivronments are critical to identify new diagnostic and therapeutic tools.[2]
Gardiner founded JKX Comics,[3] a project that looks to improve science literacy amongst young people.[4][5] She is committed to improving diversity in science and engineering. She was appointed to the American Association for the Advancement of Science IF/THEN Ambassador, which looks to promote women scientists.[6]
