Jeanne Shen, MD, Assistant Professor of Pathology, Stanford University School of Medicine

Research Description:  Dr. Shen is board-certified in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, and has specific expertise in the evaluation of human and murine pancreatic pathology. She recently joined the faculty at Stanford. Previously she worked with investigators at UTSW Medical Center in Dallas to investigate the effects of ARID1A mutation in a murine model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Currently, she is a member of several interdisciplinary research collaborations within the areas of gastrointestinal and pancreatic neoplasia, both as a lead and co-investigator. She also has interests and publications related to colorectal/upper GI cancer and inflammatory bowel disease.

She is collaborating with multiple PCRG members and their groups at Stanford, including members of the Kim and Habtezion groups.
