Shawn Hervey-Jumper, MD is Professor at University of California San Francisco. He is a neurosurgeon researcher with a clinical practice focused on the surgical management of patients with brain cancer within functional areas using physiological mapping. In his research laboratory he seeks to understand the causal mechanisms of brain cancer induced neuronal circuit remodeling. His ultimate goal is to uncover molecular drivers and therapeutic targets to treat cancer induced cognitive impairments. Through these efforts Dr Hervey-Jumper has served as principal investigator for numerous therapeutic clinical trials. He’s published extensively on pathways to equitable cancer care focused specifically on clinical trial enrollment for historically excluded patient populations.
