Pamela A. Basto
Fellow in Medicine - Med/Hematology
BioDr. Basto is a physician scientist and medical oncologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies.
She attended The University of Texas graduating magna cum laude in biomedical engineering, subsequently gaining her Ph.D. in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics at the Harvard-MIT Health Science and Technology program the under the tutelage of Professors Robert Langer and Ulrich von Andrian at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. Her thesis focused on developing next generation polymeric nanoparticle vaccines towards improved antigen specific cellular and humoral responses, work that has been translated into clinical trials. She completed medical school at Stanford University, followed by residency in internal medicine at The Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC in the ABIM research pathway, where she served on the ICU frontlines during the COVID-alpha wave at Elmhurst Hospital. She subsequently completed her hematology/oncology fellowship at Stanford University training in Professor Edgar Engleman’s lab in tumor immunology. Her research studies how cancers metastasize leveraging the immune system and engineering novel immunotherapeutics targeting abnormal carbohydrates seen on metastases. She is mentored by Professor Lipika Goyal in clinical and trial management of patients with hepatopancreatobiliary cancers.
As a clinician, she strides to create a welcoming partnership with patients during a difficult diagnosis based in trust and science, supported by an excellent clinical team. She welcomes patients from all backgrounds and aims to honor their values in culture, religion, and gender preferences. Her approach is to offer evidence based knowledge and the latest available treatments, including clinical trials, personalized to each individual’s tumor biology and their values. -
