Research Interests
Dr. Cascone leads a basic laboratory and a translational research program that focuses on studying tumor and immune-mediated mechanisms of response and resistance to immunotherapy, identifying predictive biomarkers of therapeutic response in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and discovering novel therapeutic targets and strategies to prevent tumor recurrence and augment the efficacy of immune-based therapies in the neoadjuvant and perioperative settings for early-stage NSCLC.
Dr. Cascone also serves as Principal Investigator on clinical trials evaluating neoadjuvant and perioperative immunotherapies for patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer, including the NEOSTAR, NeoCOAST, NeoCOAST-2, and CheckMate-77T studies. Her research program is supported by multiple peer-reviewed grants and awards, including an NIH/NCI MPI R01 and the Lung SPORE, a Mark Foundation Endeavor Award, the Lung Cancer Moon Shot Program and a Sabin Family Foundation Award. She uses information generated from preclinical models and patient-derived samples to identify predictive biomarkers of response and to develop novel therapeutic strategies. Dr. Cascone is a graduate of the MD Anderson Physician Scientist Program and a past recipient of an ASCO Career Development Award and an ASCI Young Physician Scientist Award. She has published widely in leading journals, including Journal of Clinical Investigation, Cell Metabolism, Cancer Discovery and Nature Medicine.
