[2] Finley has a joint appointment in the department of chemical engineering and materials science, and she is a member of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center.

"[3] Finley studied chemical engineering at Florida A&M University, graduating summa cum laude.

She created a physiologically-based computational framework to study VEGF kinetics and transport that can better inform cancer therapies.

Finley's lab has built mathematical models to predict CAR T cell response to variations in protein expression.

[7] In 2017 Finley was appointed the Gordon S. Marshall Early Career Chair Director for Computational Modeling of Cancer.
