About John Robert Ferrarone, M.D.
I am a physician-scientist who is passionate about improving the ways we treat lung cancer. Through my research, I aim to improve our understanding of how lung tumors interact with the immune system. My goal is to use this knowledge to improve existing cancer therapies and identify new treatment strategies. In my clinic, I strive to individualize treatment plans to match the needs and values of each patient. I understand how complex a new diagnosis of cancer can be, and I aim to provide the utmost support to my patients and their families throughout every step of this process.
Dr. Ferrarone graduated medical school from New York Medical College. He completed both his residency in internal medicine and his fellowship in medical oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. After his fellowship, Dr. Ferrarone received training in cancer biology research under the guidance of the Nobel laureate Dr. Harold Varmus. Dr. Ferrarone’s clinical and research efforts are focused on lung cancer. In his laboratory, he studies how mutations in certain genes influence the growth of tumors and their interaction with the immune system. The aim of his research is to provide new insights into the behavior of lung cancer, to enable the development of new cancer treatments and the rational design of clinical trials.
