William Hahn

William Hahn is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an associate member at the Broad Institute. His research focuses on the cooperative interactions that conspire to transform human cells. By manipulating oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and telomerase, his group has created models of human breast, lung, prostate, and ovarian epithelial cancers of defined genetic constitution. They continue to characterize these model systems to understand the molecular interactions that lead to transformation. The Hahn laboratory has also developed a program to combine these experimental models with genome scale RNA interference libraries and overexpression systems as well as cancer genome anatomy efforts to systematically annotate the cancer genome.
