Research Description
Dr. Dahlman is an Associate Professor of Medicine (Division of Hematology/Oncology) and Director of the Innovative Translational Research Shared Resource (ITR) in the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She earned a PhD in Cancer Biology at Vanderbilt University under the mentorship of Drs. Hal Moses and Jennifer Pietenpol and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in the laboratory of Dr. Charles Sawyers. She then returned to Nashville and joined the Vanderbilt faculty in 2010. Her research interest is determining how genomic alterations modulate tumor growth and response to standard-of-care and investigational targeted therapies and immunotherapy, with the overall goal of uncovering novel cancer therapeutic targets. As ITR Director she designs and manages study workflow and execution, quality assurance, and quality control for cancer clinical trial correlative studies.

In addition to her research interests, Dr. Dahlman has demonstrated leadership in education for biomedical science PhD trainees, medical students, postdoctoral fellows, practicing oncologists, and core facility directors. She currently oversees the development and execution of 16 Integrated Science Courses (ISCs) and co-directs the “Clinical Cancer Medicine” ISC at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine (VUSM). She has been recognized for her excellent contributions to VUSM education by election to the Academy for Excellence in Education and a Member-at-Large position on the Academy Board. Recently, she was awarded the distinction of Master Science Teacher from VUSM and was elected Secretary to the Association of Biochemistry Educators Executive Board. Dr. Dahlman is also on the Executive Board and two time President of the Southeastern Association of Shared Resources where she oversees the educational programming and execution of a regional professional development meeting for shared resource directors, managers, administrators, and staff.
