Jaye Gardiner

Gardiner 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]}

Gardiner was a postdoctoral fellow at the Fox Chase Cancer Center, where she worked 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]
