OverviewAI-generated summary

Emily Blitz's research investigates interactions within the tumor microenvironment, specifically focusing on how exosomes and tumor-associated glycans influence macrophage activity. Her work also explores the role of LKB1 loss in resistance to interferon-gamma and T cell-mediated killing in non-small cell lung cancer. Additionally, Blitz has conducted research on methods for determining metal ion leaching from glass cullet using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, with applications in assessing the viability of using glass cullet for shoreline restoration. She has also investigated the impact of flocculants or surfactants on microplastic recovery and explored the use of MR images to predict Ki67 and cellular density as prognostic indicators. Blitz collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
