The aims of Dr. Oxnard’s research are to develop clinical applications for cancer genotyping technologies to advance precision cancer care.

Dr. Oxnard has published extensively on sensitivity and resistance to EGFR kinase inhibitors in lung cancer with a focus on the clinical biology of the EGFR T790M mutation. More recently his research has focused on genomic analysis of plasma cell-free DNA as a diagnostic to assist in treatment planning, response monitoring, and cancer detection.
