Jonathan Coleman, MD

Our lab is focused on understanding the mechanism of disease recurrence, response to therapies and disease progression of upper tract urothelial cancer, a rare but aggressive disease. To interrogate molecular diversity of the disease, we employ genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and tumor immune microenvironment profiling of patient samples as well as patient derived organoids and xenograft models generated in our lab.

Our laboratory has also been developing novel photodynamic therapies for local tumor ablation. The preclinical models are used in support of translational studies for ongoing clinical trials across multiple cancer types. Combination studies of photoablation with immunotherapies are an active area of investigation

Disclosures

Members of the MSK Community 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. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.

MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders 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. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.

Jonathan Coleman discloses the following relationships and financial interests:
