Jeffrey Weber, MD, PhD Director of the Donald A. Adam Comprehensive Melanoma Research Center at Moffitt Cancer Center and Professor of Oncology at the University of South Florida is answering melanoma questions today.
Jeffrey S. Weber, M.D., Ph.D., is the director of the Donald A. Adam Comprehensive Melanoma Research Center at Moffitt Cancer Center, with the charge of bringing together basic scientists, clinical and translational investigators and prevention/epidemiology scientists in an integrated overall melanoma research effort that rapidly brings new drugs and ideas to the clinic. Weber has an extensive history of conducting translational and investigator-initiated clinical trials. Dr. Weber is also a professor of Oncology and Medicine at the University of South Florida College of Medicine.
Dr. Weber received his doctorate in Molecular Cell Biology from Rockefeller University. He received his medical degree from New York University Medical Center. He then completed an internship and residency in Medicine at the University of California. Dr. Weber also trained at the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Weber’s research interests lie in the monitoring and characterization of T cell responses to vaccination in cancer patients, and in the establishment of in vitro models to facilitate the understanding of how immune modulating antibodies amplify T cell responses in patients. He is also interested in the mechanisms by which achieving autoimmunity induces regression of cancer.
