About Dr. Selber
Dr. Jesse Selber is the Director of Clinical Research and a Professor in the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Board-certified in plastic surgery, Dr. Selber is an expert in microvascular reconstructive surgery with a diverse practice that includes head and neck reconstruction, breast reconstruction, robotics, microsurgery, and abdominal wall reconstruction. Dr. Selber is an innovator in vascularized composite allotransplantation including a scalp, skull, kidney-pancreas transplant and a reconstructive monozygotic twin transplant. Dr. Selber has pioneered the field of robotic plastic surgery and remains the leading researcher and practitioner in robotic plastic surgery techniques.
Dr. Selber received his undergraduate education at Brown University with a major in studio art. After receiving his Medical Doctorate from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Dr. Selber completed a Masters of Public Health at Harvard followed by a plastic surgery residency at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2008-2009, he completed a fellowship in Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Upon completion of his fellowship, Dr. Selber was recruited to the Department of Plastic Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center where he rose to the rank of Professor in 10 years.
Dr. Selber’s research involves head and neck reconstruction, breast reconstruction, microsurgery, abdominal wall reconstruction, microsurgical training, robotic-assisted reconstructive surgery, and other areas. His work has resulted in invitations to lecture and instruct at over 300 national and international conferences and the publication of over 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals.
In addition, Dr. Selber has been intimately involved in MD Anderson’s geographic expansion effort. He helped launch and led the partnership with MD Anderson at Cooper for 6 years and now works closely with Administration in strategic clinical and business development in the regional market.Present Title & Affiliation
