Jennifer Clarke, MD, MPH
Specialties: Adult brain tumors, including glioma and glioblastoma
Dr. Clarke specializes in novel approaches to the treatment of brain tumors in adult patients. In addition to clinical care, she is actively involved in clinical research and teaching. With extensive experience in clinical trial development, implementation, and analysis, she is involved in numerous clinical trials testing new therapies and treatment combinations for gliomas.
Dr. Clarke’s research interests include (1) cell therapy and precision medicine approaches to treat gliomas, (2) use of a new technique called immunomethylomics to identify potential prognostic markers and/or predictors of response to treatment from patients’ systemic immune profiles, and (3) novel imaging methods to characterize tumors and their response to treatment.
