Mikaela is interested how cancer develops in the first place. For this purpose, she compares the effects of carcinogens on skin of cancer-prone mice and cancer-resistant naked mole rats and studies them one cell at the time.
She also investigates the mutational landscape caused by the carcinogens to get a detailed picture of how cancer is initiated. This basic research will pave the way and lay the groundwork for new and improved healthcare.
