Department of Thoracic-Head & Neck Med Onc, Division of Cancer Medicine
About Dr. Byers
Dr. Lauren Byers is a Professor and Thoracic Section Chief in the Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Byers completed her B.A. degree in Molecular Biology at Princeton University in 1998, her M.D. degree at Baylor College of Medicine in 2003, and M.S. degree in Patient-Based Research at the University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in 2009. Following her Clinical Residency in Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Byers joined MD Anderson Cancer Center in 2006 as a Clinical Fellow in Medical Oncology and later as an Advanced Scholar Fellow.
As a physician-scientist, Dr. Byers’ research focuses on high-throughput molecular profiling to identify new therapeutic targets, predictive biomarkers, and mechanisms of resistance, especially in the area of Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). H er research led to the first comprehensive framework for classifying SCLC into distinct molecular subtypes. She has rapidly translated these findings into clinical trials and leads a multi-disciplinary translational research team that leverages tumors and liquid biopsies from patients with lung cancer to accelerate the development of personalized treatments and biomarkers.
Dr. Byers serves as PI on multiple awards including NCI R01, U01 and U24 awards focused on lung cancer. She is co-PI for the NCI’s Small Cell Lung Cancer Consortium, Chair of the MD Anderson Cancer Center Multidisciplinary Research Program, co-leader of the MD Anderson Cancer Center Lung CCSG Program, and a project leader in the MD Anderson/UT Southwestern Lung SPORE. As a clinical investigator, Dr. Byers has led a number of clinical trials investigating new therapeutic targets and biomarkers, including the first CAR T-cell for SCLC patients.
Her contributions in SCLC (one of the most recalcitrant cancers) have been recognized in the NCI’s report to the US Congress as among the most impactful advances in the past decade. She has an impressive list of awards, including election to the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the MD Anderson President’s Recognition for Faculty Excellence. She has mentored numerous early career trainees, serves as faculty at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and serves on several grant review panels, including past Chair of the ASCO Conquer Cancer Grant Selection Committee, and is a standing member on several grant review panels including the NIH Mechanisms of Cancer Therapeutics-2 (MCT2) Study Section.

Research Interests
Dr. Byers’ research goal is to identify changes in cancer cells at the molecular level that contribute to their growth and drug resistance and apply this knowledge to develop more effective, personalized therapy for patients. Her laboratory - together with the Thoracic Bioinformatics Team, which she co-leads - studies gene and protein profiles obtained from lung cancer cell lines, mouse models, and patient tumors. Dr. Byers’ laboratory research led to the discovery of several novel drug targets for lung cancer and important ways in which cancer cells can become resistant to existing therapies, including immunotherapy. The results generated by her team have led directly to clinical trials with new combinations of drugs that will impact patient care. More recently, Dr. Byers’ group identified transcriptional subtypes tumor of SCLC with unique therapeutic vulnerabilities that be identified using both transcriptional and cfDNA methylation profiling data. Currently, Dr. Byers is examining approaches to personalize treatment for SCLC patients, and to develop novel treatment modalities in the relapsed setting.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Byers is a medical oncologist dedicated to bringing the most promising findings from her research to the bedside. She has translated key findings from her work into clinical trials and new biomarkers that have the potential to improve personalized cancer care for people with lung cancer.
