Research Summary:

Dr. Hann is a member of the Upper Aerodigestive Cancer Program, with a primary focus on developing novel therapeutics for lung cancer, particularly small cell lung cancer. As a post-doctoral fellow, her research focused on the preclinical evaluation of a novel small molecule inhibitor which is currently in Phase I/II clinical trials.

She is the recipient of several awards, including an ASCO Young Investigator Award and a FAMRI Young Clinical Scientist Award.

As a faculty member, she sees patients with non-small cell and small cell lung cancer and conducts innovative research with both basic biological and major clinical implications.

Current research projects in the lab include: 1) an evaluation of mechanisms of resistance to a small molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2 currently in clinical trials, 2) a preclinical evaluation of a novel anthracycline in a primary xenograft model of small cell lung cancer, and 3) the development of a small cell lung cancer-specific nanoparticle delivery system for gene therapy.

Trainees in Dr. Hanns lab learn basic molecular biology techniques and approaches to preclinical evaluation of various therapeutic approaches to small cell lung cancer treatment.
