Dr. Steve Dubinett is a creative scientist. He believes in looking hard at the scientific data and then pushes his thoughts away from conventional ideas. He likes to work collaboratively with others who are willing to forge new paths in research and it has paid off. Dr. Dubinett is best known for uncovering surprising connections between inflammation and lung cancer.
His findings, which show how the body’s inflammatory response contributes to converting a normal epithelial cell into a lung cancer cell, are likely to have major translational applications. This kind of impact is exactly why Dr. Dubinett is interested in studying lung cancer. “It affords us the opportunity to do work that is scientifically based and reaches patients in a meaningful way.”
