Guhan received his B.S and M.S. degrees in Biomedical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY) and is currently a PhD candidate at University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN). His thesis aims to elucidate the biologically and mechanically complex tumor microenvironment in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and how these variables affect therapeutic T cell migration and infiltration with advanced imaging techniques such as multiphoton laser scanning microscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging, and polychromatic polarization microscopy. Multidimensional data are analyzed with novel computer vision and machine learning algorithms to reveal the dynamic interplay between T cells and the TME. He also enjoys many things outside research – national parks, classical music, photography, Star Wars, and running.
