The research focus of Harry H. Yoon, M.D., is in the development of novel therapies and the identification of biomarkers in esophagogastric and colorectal malignancies. He has expertise in cancers of the digestive system, as well as cancers of unknown primary and Merkel cell carcinoma.
Dr. Yoon's research is intended to find cures for cancer particularly by harnessing the body's natural immune system. In addition, his work is intended to help clinicians do a better job of matching the right therapy with the right patient, to maximize the therapy's ability to fight the cancer while minimizing side effects. His approach to accomplishing this goal is through improving our understanding of the molecular characteristics of tumors so that novel agents and approaches can be tailored to the patient's tumor and host profile.
