Joel Neal, MD, PhD
Professor of Medicine (Oncology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a thoracic oncologist who cares for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, malignant mesothelioma, and other thoracic malignancies. I design and conduct clinical trials of novel therapies in collaboration with other researchers and pharmaceutical companies. These generally focus on two areas, 1) targeted therapies against particular mutations in cancers (for example EGFR, ALK, ROS1, HER2, KRAS, MET, and others) and 2) the emerging field of immunotherapy in cancer, using anti PD-1/PD-L1 therapies in combination with other agents, and also developing cellular therapies. I also collaborate with other researchers on campus to apply emerging technologies to cancer therapy, for example, circulating tumor DNA detection. Additionally, in my role as the Cancer Center IT Medical Director, I coordinate projects relating to our use of the electronic health record to improve provider efficiency and facilitate patient care.

Luke Neal
Masters Student in Chemical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioI'm currently a process engineer at Merck working at the Formulation and Laboratory Experimentation Facility with a focus on oral solid dosage production. I recently graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemical Engineering and an Energy Studies certificate. At Yale, I was on the Varsity Men's Tennis team. My internship experiences during undergraduate studies included working as a Process Engineering Intern in ExxonMobil’s Technology and Engineering division. I was focused on modeling the extraction of battery grade lithium from brine. I also gained experience in the renewable energy and green engineering fields though my internships at Tesla and West Environmental.
