Dr Roy Herbst is Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology, Chief of Medical Oncology, Director of the Thoracic Oncology Research Program, and Associate Director for Translational Research at Yale Cancer Center and Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut in the USA.
Dr Herbst has worked as a pioneer of personalized medicine and immunotherapy to identify biomarkers and bring novel targeted treatments and immunotherapies to patients and has served as a principal investigator for numerous clinical trials testing these agents in advanced stage lung cancers. His work on “umbrella” trials has galvanized the field of targeted therapy and cancer drug approvals at the FDA.
Dr Herbst has been a champion of translational medicine, recently authoring a high-profile review of the 20-year progress in lung cancer. He has also authored or co-authored more than 300 publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles, abstracts and book chapters. For his lifetime achievement in scientific contributions to thoracic cancer research, Dr Herbst was awarded the 2016 Paul A. Bunn, Jr Scientific Award by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC).
