Summary
Thomas Hoang is an NCI T32-supported postdoctoral fellow at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center with a decade of biomedical research experience focused on cancer therapeutics and tumor biology. He led multidisciplinary projects during his PhD that uncovered adaptive resistance mechanisms in HPV-negative head and neck cancer, linked YAP-driven inflammation to malignant progression, and evaluated frontline anti-PD-1 use in vulnerable cSCC patients. Comfortable at the bench and in collaborative, data-driven teams, he has coauthored work in high-impact journals, contributed to NIH-funded projects, and secured competitive fellowships. His technical repertoire spans molecular signaling assays, genomic/transcriptomic profiling in partnership with computational labs, and development of FRET-based cellular systems to dissect ERK/cAMP crosstalk. Based in San Diego, he combines rigorous translational insight with clinical research training to accelerate chemoprevention and immunotherapy strategies.
