Researchers Behind the Journals: Researcher Profile

Jennifer R. Grandis

Head of the Class

Author Profile: Jennifer R. Grandis

Jennifer R. Grandis, MD, is a Professor at the University of California, San Francisco, in the Department of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, and Associate Vice Chancellor—Clinical and Translational Research. As a trained physician, with specialties in surgery and infectious disease, she provides a unique understanding of the mechanisms that mediate head and neck (H&N) cancers.

As an investigator, her studies have been influential in defining the signal transduction pathways in the development and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Her clinical expertise and emphasis on molecular characterization have been instrumental for the development of preclinical models of disease, predictive biomarkers, and novel therapeutic approaches, all of which have culminated into translational and clinical benefit for patients.

Dr. Grandis is a highly active member of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and has previously served on the Board of Directors and in the capacity of course director, program chair, and member of many selection committees. On a number of occasions she has been invited to give lectures at national and international AACR meetings. She has contributed numerous peer-reviewed articles and currently serves as an Editorial Board Member or Scientific/Deputy Editor for many of the journals in the AACR family.

A selection of recent articles by Dr. Grandis and published in the AACR family of journals is provided below:

  • Proteomic Characterization of Head and Neck Cancer Patient-Derived Xenografts.
