      Department of Sarcoma Medical Oncology, Division of Cancer Medicine

      About Dr. Joseph A Ludwig

      Dr. Joseph Ludwig is a physician-scientist who specializes in the study and care of Ewing’s and other bone and soft-tissue sarcomas. He received his medical degree from the University of Iowa, completed residency and research fellowship at Mayo Clinic, and medical oncology fellowship at the National Institutes of Health. Ludwig has been a member of the MD Anderson faculty since 2006. His research program, which encompasses both basic and translational endpoints, seeks to understand how the tumor microenvironment regulates the spatial organization, phenotype, and differentiation state of cancer. Ludwig’s major focus is determine how these parameters impact the sensitivity of bone and soft-tissue sarcomas to targeted therapy in an effort to improve response rates in these patients.
