Sylvester Welcomes Surgical Oncologist Jashodeep Datta
Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Department of Surgery welcome Jashodeep Datta, M.D., assistant professor of surgery.
Clinical Specialty: Surgical Oncology
Research Interests: Dr. Datta’s research interests are focused on HPB and GI malignancies, and investigating how the molecular alterations that define these malignancies orchestrate the immune microenvironment. The ultimate goal is to leverage this information to develop novel immunotherapies that are tailored to each patient’s individual tumor.
- Molecular and immunogenomic stratification of oncologic prognosis (e.g., survival, chemotherapy response) in colorectal liver metastasis and gastric cancer survival using genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic approaches. The goal is to develop biomarkers to enable precision cancer treatment.
- Investigating the immune repercussions of “high risk” genomic alterations in GI malignancy.
- Develop novel immunotherapeutic strategies targeting high-risk GI malignancy, particularly in a neoadjuvant window-of-opportunity or treatment-refractory setting.
- Develop a genomically annotated biorepository of banked tumor tissue from GI cancers.
- Clinical research projects examining comparative effectiveness of various surgical and medical treatments in gastroesophageal and HPB malignancy.
