Jan Grimm, MD, PhD

The Grimm lab in the Molecular Pharmacology Program focuses on the development of novel and innovative approaches for cancer diagnostics and therapy. These approaches evaluate underlying biology and utilize nanotechnology, chemistry and physics interrogated with modern imaging methods. The lab focuses currently several avenues: (i) the utilization of nanoparticles for cancer therapy; (ii) novel imaging approaches such as Cerenkov and optoacoustic imaging and (iii) the biology of PSMA both in prostate cancer and neovasculature using a tumor-on-chip microfluidic chip system.

Disclosures

Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.

MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.

Jan Grimm discloses the following relationships and financial interests:

  • Gerson Lehrman Group

The information published here is for a specific annual disclosure period. There may be differences between information on this and other public sites as a result of different reporting periods and/or the various ways relationships and financial interests are categorized by organizations that publish such data.
