Dr. Wahl is a physician scientist and an Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology with Tenure at the University of Michigan. He obtained his MD and PhD degrees in 2012 from the University of Michigan where he studied Chemical Biology and immunometabolism under the mentorship of Drs. Gary Glick and Jamie Ferrara. He then underwent clinical training in radiation oncology and a postdoctoral fellowship studying brain tumor biology, metabolism and the DNA damage response under the mentorship of Dr. Theodore Lawrence. He now runs his own research group that studies the mechanistic links between altered metabolism, DNA repair and treatment resistance in brain tumors. His research team has translated this laboratory work into clinical studies that measure metabolism in brain tumor patients using stable isotope tracing and inhibit it through therapeutic clinical trials. His work is funded by the NCI, the NINDS, the Damon Runyon Cancer Foundation, the Sontag Foundation and the Ben and Cathy Ivy Glioblastoma Foundation.
