About Sasha Stanton, M.D., Ph.D.

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.

She decided to focus on translational breast cancer research in the emerging field of immuno-oncology.
