Camilla Salvagno, PhD

Dr. Camilla Salvagno is a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Juan Cubillos-Ruiz at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York. Dr. Salvagno obtained her MS degree in Medical, Molecular and Cellular Biotechnology at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, Italy, and her Ph.D. in Tumor Immunology at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. During her doctoral studies in the lab of Dr. Karin de Visser, Dr. Salvagno focused on the role of the immune system in promoting tumorigenesis and influencing therapy response in breast cancer. As a graduate student, she received a travel grant from Keystone Symposia. After her graduate studies, she was recruited as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the lab of Dr. Cubillos-Ruiz. Dr. Salvagno current research aims at understanding how endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses coordinate global immunosuppressive networks in the tumor microenvironment. Her goal is to create the next generation of ER stress-based approaches to improve the anti-cancer efficacy of conventional therapies and immunotherapies for ovarian cancer.
