    Anusha Kalbasi, MD

    Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology (Radiation Therapy)

    BioDr. Kalbasi is radiation oncologist and physician-scientist at the Stanford Cancer Institute, specializing in the treatment of patients with solid malignancies, especially sarcoma and melanoma. He actively leads early phase clinical trials related to immunotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

    Dr. Kalbasi's laboratory studies cancer immunology, with a focus on manipulating the cell-intrinsic signals of immune cells and cancer cells to influence the outcomes of immunotherapy and/or radiation. The lab integrates a variety of approaches including cell and protein engineering, synthetic biology, cell signaling, genomics, and analysis of samples from patients on clinical trials. The lab is actively engaged in projects involving engineering T cell therapies (TCR, CAR, TIL), T cell engagers, cytokine therapies, innate immune agonists and radiation therapy.

    Dr. Kalbasi was previously assistant professor of radiation oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and chief of sarcoma radiotherapy at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, where he was named a NextGen Star by the American Association of Cancer Research. Dr. Kalbasi’s work has been published in leading journals including Nature, Science Translational Medicine, JAMA Oncology, Lancet Oncology, Nature Cancer and Cancer Discovery.
