Elena Castellanos-Rizaldos's Biography



Elena Castellanos-Rizaldos, Instructor in Radiation Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Medical School

Dr. Castellanos-Rizaldos is an Instructor at the Department of Radiation Oncology, Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA. She has a background in Microbiology, with focus on development of molecular methods to detect mycobacterial species. Her PhD work has been recognized with the prestigious SYVA award, Johne’s Disease Integrated Program (JDIP) Award and PhD Excellence Award. Her research interests include the development of novel DNA technologies for molecular diagnostics with application in Oncology. Working at the laboratory of Dr. Makrigiorgos she developed new PCR-based techniques such as Temperature-tolerant-COLD-PCR, work recognized with the Young Investigator Award at the Association for Molecular Pathology 2011 Meeting.

As currently applied, digital PCR can only be used to detect known mutations at single sequence positions. By merging COLD-PCR and digital -PCR technologies we enable digital mutation scanning, a new frontier for digital-PCR. A single reaction can now interrogate numerous mutations, and replaces multiple individual digital-PCR reactions.
