Zhenfeng Duan, M.D., Ph.D.

Roles

• Biography

  + –
  I am a basic scientist with over 25 years of experience in cancer biology and a broad background in molecular biology, genetics and epigenetics, and translational oncology. I was an assistant professor in Orthopedic Surgery of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) at Harvard Medical School and a professor in UCLA. Throughout my postdoctoral training in Dr. Michael Seiden’s (former President of Fox Chase Cancer Center) laboratory at MGH Cancer Center, I have received extensive training in the field of cellular and molecular biology in human cancer. I moved from UCLA to the University of Miami in August 2021.
