The Jänne Labs research integrates bench-based studies with translational research and clinical trials of novel therapeutic agents in patients with lung cancer. The Labs main research interest centers on understanding and translating the therapeutic importance of oncogenic alterations found in lung cancer. Dr. Jänne is a translational thoracic medical oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is the director of the Lowe Center for Thoracic Oncology and the scientific co-director of the Belfer Center for Applied Cancer Sciences.
