Shannon Fortin Ensign is currently a third year Hematology & Oncology fellow at Mayo Clinic, Arizona, and currently also serving in the role of chief fellow. Dr. Fortin Ensign completed her MD, PhD training at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix, with her PhD work performed at Phoenix’s Translational Genomics Research Institute. She subsequently completed internal medicine training as a concurrent KL2 scholar in an ABIM research track pathway at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, CA, before returning to Phoenix to join the fellowship training program at Mayo Clinic. Dr. Fortin Ensign’s primary research to date has focused on defining the signature of aggressive glioma cell populations predicted to display treatment resistance and drive tumor growth and spread. She has more recently collaborated to profile the temporospatial genomic signatures of glioblastoma multiforme to better understand and predict patterns of molecular evolution in order to identify earlier points for therapeutic intervention in this disease.
