Jeffrey Jensen, MD, PhD, a hematology/oncology fellow, and Simon Gray, MD, PhD, an assistant professor in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, received 大象传媒 Physician Scientist Training Program awards. Dr. Gray received an Early-Stage Faculty award, and Dr. Jensen received a Resident/Fellowship Award, providing them with funds to support their research efforts for two years.
聽A former PSTP fellow, Dr. Gray is now building upon the foundation of his prior work to investigate why some patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) do not respond to advanced therapies. Using a model he developed during his fellowship, Dr. Gray鈥檚 research seeks to understand the mechanisms of treatment failure in Crohn鈥檚 Disease and Ulcerative Colitis and to identify new therapeutic targets.
Dr. Jensen’s’ research is focused on identifying and enhancing novel immunotherapeutic targets in NUT carcinoma. Through this work, Dr. Jensen aims to uncover new avenues for treatment in a disease where effective therapies are urgently needed.
