David Carbone MD PhD

Summary

• I am a Professor of Internal Medicine, Director of the James Thoracic Oncology Center at the OSUMC and
  holds the Barbara J. Bonner Chair in Lung Research. I graduated summa cum laude from Amherst College
  in 1977 and received an MD and PhD in Molecular Biology and Genetics at Johns Hopkins University in 1985. I then did an Internal Medicine internship and residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital through 1988 followed by a Medical Oncology fellowship at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD. At Vanderbilt, I was Professor of Medicine, Cell Biology, and Cancer Biology, and Director of the Thoracic/Head and Neck Cancer Program, Director and Principal Investigator of the Vanderbilt Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) in Lung Cancer for 11 years and PI of the Strategic Partnering to Evaluate Cancer Signatures (SPECS) in Lung Cancer UO1 consortium. I was recruited to The Ohio State University in 2012 to direct the James Thoracic Oncology Center. My research interests, grant support and publications have been focused on lung cancer, and specifically proteomic and expression array signature development, lung cancer genetics, cancer immunotherapy, tumor-associated immunosuppression mechanisms. Recent research directions include development of molecular biomarkers to guide patient management and therapy, and molecular profiling of lung cancers and preneoplasias to guide the development of novel therapeutics, especially using mass spectrometry-based proteomics. I have over 200 peer-reviewed publications, books and review articles, has served on several NCI grant review panels, including the clinical program project parent committee, and have had continuous NCI funding since early in my career. I served on the Board of Scientific Counselors for the NCI, and currently I am Chair of the Lung Biology subcommittee for the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group and Past President of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC).
