Speaker of: Lung Cancer Screening in Patients who Never Smoked
Dr. Triparna Sen, Ph.D., is an Assistant Attending at the Department of Medicine in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), New York, USA. She has a broad background in translational oncology research, with a special interest in thoracic malignancies. Her research aims to understand changes in cancer cells at the molecular level that contribute to their growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. She then uses this knowledge to develop improved therapeutic strategies for clinically relevant molecular subsets of lung cancer.
Dr. Sen has received independent grant funding from the Department of Defense (DoD) Lung Cancer Research Program, the National Institute of Health (NIH/NCI), the Lung Cancer Research Foundation, and The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). She is the author of several peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts, and she is an active member of the IASLC, and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). She is also the co-director of the MSKCC lung cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) program, a platform that has developed over 300 preclinical models. The PDX program is a resource widely used for conducting co-clinical trials, identifying therapies and biomarkers by investigators worldwide.
She has received several awards for her contribution to lung cancer research, including the 40 under 40 in Cancer award, AAAS Martin and Rose Wachtel Cancer Research Award, AACR Women in Cancer Research scholar award, and AACR Scholar-in-training Jeffrey Lee Cousins fellowship and Immuno-Oncology-Young Investigator award. She is actively involved in outreach activities, mentoring and a passionate advocate of equal opportunity for women in STEM fields.
