Michael Hemann

Michael Thomas Hemann, Ph.D., born in Evanston, Illinois in 1971, is a cancer geneticist and associate professor in the David H. Koch Institute for Integrated Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The research in Hemann's laboratory focuses on identification and characterization of genes involved in tumor formation, cancer progression, and chemotherapeutic response.[1][2][3]
