First person – Sarah Woodfield

Abstract

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Sarah Woodfield is first author on ‘ HepT1-derived murine models of high-risk hepatoblastoma display vascular invasion, metastasis, and circulating tumor cells’, published in BiO. Sarah is assistant professor of surgery at Baylor College of Medicine and the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, investigating the high-risk features of hepatoblastoma, including primarily metastasis and chemoresistance, with the overall goal of better understanding these characteristics in order to target them with novel inhibitors to improve patient outcomes.
