      Scott Kopetz Image

      Scott Kopetz, M.D., Ph.D.

      Department of Colorectal Medical Oncology, Division of Cancer Medicine

      About Dr. Scott Kopetz

      Scott Kopetz, M.D., Ph.D., has been selected as the inaugural chair of the newly created Colorectal Medical Oncology department. The creation of the new department was approved on Aug. 5, and a national search for a chair was launched. Kopetz was selected from among a strong pool of applicants and his appointment was effective Oct. 1.


      The creation of the new department within the Cancer Medicine division follows the rise in gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers. Continued growth is expected, driven by increasing referrals, rising rates of young-onset colorectal cancer, advances in screening and precision medicine and expanded multidisciplinary opportunities through the Colorectal Center.


      Kopetz earned his medical degree from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and his Ph.D. in cancer biology from the UT MD Anderson UTHealth Houston Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Duke University Medical Center and then returned to UT MD Anderson as a fellow in medical oncology.


      Following the completion of his training, he joined our faculty in 2006. He rose through the academic ranks, becoming professor of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology in 2019.


      A leader in translational and clinical research, Kopetz has built a nationally recognized program focused on colorectal cancer biology, precision medicine, molecular profiling, targeted therapeutics, treatment resistance, circulating tumor DNA, liquid biopsy technologies, cancer genomics, early-onset colorectal cancer, immunotherapy and artificial intelligence applications in cancer research and care. His work has led to 460 original articles in peer-reviewed journals and his excellence was acknowledged as the holder of two endowed positions, first the Del and Dennis McCarthy Distinguished Professorship in Gastroenterology Research and more recently the Dr. M.L. “Steve” Ruben Distinguished Chair in Gastroenterology Cancer Research.


      Kopetz is a dedicated educator and mentor who has contributed extensively to the development of trainees, clinician-scientists and faculty members across UT MD Anderson. His achievements have been recognized extensively, both at a local and national level.


      Within UT MD Anderson, he has received the Faculty Scholar Award, Robert M. Chamberlain Distinguished Mentor Award, John Mendelsohn Lifetime Achievement Award, and Emil Frei III Award for Excellence in Translational Research within the Cancer Medicine division. His prestigious national honors include elections to the Association of American Physicians and the American Society of Clinical Investigation. He was also named a Fellow of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and is a recipient of the AACR-Waun Ki Hong Award for Outstanding Achievement in Translational and Clinical Cancer Research from the American Association for Cancer Research.


      In addition to his clinical and academic accomplishments, Kopetz has demonstrated exceptional leadership in several key roles, including deputy chair for Translational Research in Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, associate vice president for Translational Integration in the Office of the Chief Scientific Officer and medical director of Translational Research to Advance Therapeutics and Innovation in Oncology (TRACTION) in the Therapeutics Discovery Division.
