Sasha Elizabeth Stanton MD, PhD

Dr. Stanton is a physician-scientist with expertise in breast cancer and extensive training in molecular genetics and immunotherapy. Currently, she leads the Cancer Immunoprevention Laboratory at the Earle A. Chiles Research Institute, a Providence Center of Excellence for immuno-oncology and cellular therapy. She is also a practicing physician at Providence and is board-certified in medical oncology and internal medicine.

Dr. Stanton became interested in breast cancer after witnessing its devastation among friends and family. When she started taking care of patients with cancer, she saw unmet needs that more targeted therapies given earlier in the disease could address. She decided to focus on translational breast cancer research in the emerging field of immuno-oncology.
