Scientific Interests

Dr. Gower is a hematologist and medical oncologist within the Division of Hematology/Oncology with a focus in breast and thoracic cancers. His research interests are in predictive biomarkers of response and resistance to novel therapeutics in lung cancer, with an emphasis on antibody drug conjugates. The lack of predictive biomarkers for these exciting agents remain elusive, and biomarker evaluation is going to be the key moving forward.
