About Dr. Taniguchi
Dr. Taniguchi is an Associate Professor at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, with a joint appointment in Gastrointestinal Radiation Oncology and Experimental Radiation Oncology. He is a physician scientist specializing in gastrointestinal malignancies, with a clinical and research focus on pancreatic cancer. The NIH and CPRIT-funded Taniguchi Lab studies the biology of hypoxia (low oxygen) and how it can be used to improve cancer responses by both reducing normal tissue toxicity and enhancing killing of cancer cells chiefly through a molecule called hypoxia inducible factor-2 (HIF2). His scientific work has garnered national recognition as a V Foundation Scholar, Kimmel Scholar, ASCI Young Investigator, J.W. Osborne Award from the RRS and a AAAS Fellowship. Dr. Taniguchi has leveraged his translational work as the PI of three investigator-initiated trials at MD Anderson. He is also a co-PI on NASA-funded studies with Baylor and a U54 Grant between the University of Puerto Rico and MDACC to enhance the basic and clinical oncology efforts in Puerto Rico, with an emphasis on understanding the reasons behind the significant cancer disparities that impact minority populations. He will use these experiences to help to build and lead the already strong Translational Science Program in the Division of Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson.
