Dr. Humam Kadara is a professor in Translational Molecular Pathology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His lab made fundamental discoveries in the cellular genesis of early lung cancer. With his group, he is keen to discover mechanisms underlying the earliest stages in cancer development and to leverage this information to identify ideal targets for cancer prevention, interception and early treatment. Outside the lab, and when he is not busy with grant/paper writing and administrative work, Dr. Kadara loves cooking with his family, reading history books, watching soccer and playing with his young kids.
