Italy: The BioMILD and SMILE Study Results

Johathan Lehman  
Speaker of: Italy: The BioMILD and SMILE Study Results
Dr. Jonathan Lehman is a practicing medical thoracic oncologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Department of Veterans Affairs in Nashville, TN. Dr. Lehman’s current research focuses on small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), the most aggressive subtype of lung cancer, and is driven by his clinical experience with his patients and Veterans who are disproportionately afflicted by the disease. SCLC is particularly devastating because most tumors develop metastatic recurrence despite initial response to therapeutic intervention. Dr. Lehman’s research focuses on rare chemotherapy resistant subpopulations and he has described distinct neuroendocrine survival signaling in SCLC and rare chemotherapy stable subpopulations uncovered by a novel single cell mass cytometry panel that can identify the expression of more than 40 individual proteins to cluster subpopulations of cells within a large number of tumor cells. He is delighted to participate in the Vanderbilt University U54 group focused on characterizing and modeling different subpopulations in Small Cell Lung Cancer. He is grateful to the NCI, VA, and Department of Defense for continued funding support and his collaborators in the Rudin, ECOG and U54 labs. He is grateful for the support of his former research mentor Dr. Pierre Massion, who is dearly missed.
