About Isaac Chan:

Dr. Chan earned both his doctoral degree in genetics and molecular signaling and his medical degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He completed internal medicine residency training at Boston University and received advanced training through a medical oncology fellowship at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. 

Dr. Chan’s research involves understanding how to treat and prevent metastatic disease by studying the processes by which cancer cells spread. His lab seeks to define and therapeutically target innate immune responses that are shared between people. In particular, he focuses on the signaling that regulates the responses of natural killer cells and barrier cells.

Dr. Chan joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 2020.
