G. Donald Okoye Email and Phone Number

I am an MD/PhD student at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine training to become a physician scientist with a medical focus on cancer and oncotherapy-induced toxicity management in patients. My research interests are translational and include understanding toxicities related to novel and existing cancer therapies, onset and progression of tumorigenesis, and the understanding of the MOA of existing therapies including immunotherapies for cancer treatment. I love to study humans and human systems and devise new and effective ways to tackle relevant problems. My supervisors and colleagues would describe me as a driven, inquisitive, and resourceful individual who maintains a positive, proactive attitude when faced with adversity. Specific fields of interest include biochemistry, cancer biology, cardiooncology, immunooncology, and pharmacology.
