Jane Yanagawa, MD

Dr. Jane Yanagawa's ultimate goal as a physician-scientist is to improve long-term outcomes in patients with early-stage resectable non-small cell lung cancer. She hopes to develop a scientific portfolio in translational lung cancer research focusing on mechanisms of immune-modulation that ultimately extends to clinical trials of immunotherapies for patients with resectable lung cancer.
