About Dr. Ramona Dadu
My long term goal is to become an independent investigator and leader in the field of thyroid cancer, with specific focus in immune based and other novel therapies
. This area is of particular interest because many patients with advanced thyroid cancer receiving multi-kinase inhibitors will inevitably fail this treatment. My collaborations with a variety of experts in cancer biology and tumor immunology have enabled me to expand my expertise beyond endocrinology to oncologic endocrinology and immunology in order to begin to examine the role of immune system in thyroid cancer. I have completed two translation projects for which I received external funding. These data lead to rationally designed clinical trials in thyroid cancer. Because of my expertise in thyroid cancer immunotherapy trials, I was invited to serve as principal investigator on several multi-institutional clinical trials combining kinase inhibitors with immunotherapy.Because of my hands on experience with the use of immunotherapy in thyroid cancer, I quickly realized that it is extremely important to establish a systematic approach for treatment and follow-up of patients who developed immune related adverse events. I am nationally recognized as an expert in endocrine immune related adverse events. As the Endocrinology working group leader part of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer, I wrote the endocrine section of the guidelines. Our results published from a large database created by me have changed clinical practice. I
collaborate with multiple investigators within the institution. with the goal of improving survival of cancer patients. Our next efforts are focused on understanding the pathophysiology and other predictors of development of various endocrine immune related adverse events.
