Dr. Amy H Tang is a Full Professor of Cancer Biology at the Leroy T Canoles Jr. Cancer Research Center at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Dr. Tang had worked as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the Mayo Clinic for eight years, where she witnessed the ineffective treatment regimens, dismal prognosis, and devastation of metastatic breast cancer firsthand. Since then, Dr. Tang has dedicated her scientific life to training her fellows and graduate students to conduct the highest quality research, and finding innovative and breakthrough strategies to control and eradicate locally advanced, relapsed and metastatic triple negative breast cancer in our lifetimes. At EVMS, Dr. Tang has served as a lead cancer researcher who received a top national cancer award, the 2010 AACR Innovative Award, for her innovative idea and new strategy to control and eradicate “undruggable” oncogenic K-RAS-driven human cancer. Dr. Tang and her team have developed an innovative strategy to control metastatic breast cancer in preclinical and clinical settings, and she hopes to translate these findings to benefit high-risk and high-grade breast cancer patients and address cancer disparity issues in Virginia and in the United States.
