Amongst his various appointments Dr. Bahary is a member of the NCI Pancreatic Task Force, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) where he serves on the ECOG GI Steering Committee and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) His basic research interests lie in the intersection between gastrointestinal development, metabolic stress pathways, immunology, and cancer. He has a broad research background in cancer genetics, developmental biology, molecular biology, and clinical investigations, with specific training and expertise in key research areas broadly within the field of gastrointestinal oncology, and specifically within pancreatic cancer. Building on his work at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Bahary is using insights gained by studying vertebrate development to determine how cancers grow. Clinical trials emanating from this research will continue at AHN Cancer Institute and are expected to lead to the development of new targeted agents and immunologic strategies for treating cancer.
