Jennifer Anderson – Houston Texas

I am a head and neck surgeon-scientist who focuses on translational research in head and neck cancer. During my graduate and post-doctoral work, I studied cell signaling and targeted therapeutics in pediatric sarcomas. After obtaining my medical degree from UC Irvine, I completed residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I then completed a fellowship in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Following completion of fellowship, I started a faculty position as an advanced scholar within the Division of Surgery. I am currently working as an attending in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery and studying the tumor microenvironment in head and neck cancer.
