Oncogene aims to make substantial advances in our knowledge of processes that contribute to cancer by publishing outstanding research. We propagate work that challenges standard conjecture and builds on previous studies, in particular those that lead to establishing new paradigms in the etio-pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of cancers, and in processes that drive metastatic spread, and provide important insights into cancer biology beyond what has been revealed thus far.

Areas covered by Oncogene include, but are not limited to, the cellular and molecular biology of cancer including resistance to cancer therapies, and development of better approaches to improving survival. Across cancer biology, we have a broad remit encompassing the life sciences and biomedicine, from the most fundamental and theoretical work, through to translational, applied, and clinical research (including early and late Phase clinical trials, especially those with biologic and translational endpoints).

Reviewing Editors are among the most respected and accomplished individuals in their fields – from genetics and structural biology, to function and mechanism.

George Miller, NYU Cancer Institute, New York, USA
Dr. George Miller is the H.L. Pachter Associate Professor of Surgery and Cell Biology at New York University (NYU) School of Medicine. He is vice-Chairman for Research in the Surgery Department, leader of NYU’s Cancer Immunology Program, co-leader of the GI Cancer disease management group, and Director of NYU’s T32 training program in GI Oncology. Dr. Miller is a physician-scientist in the real sense. From a clinical standpoint, he performs complex operations in patients with liver or pancreatic cancer. Nevertheless, 80% of his time is dedicated to basic and translational cancer research. He is a summa cum laude Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Columbia University and of McGill University Faculty of Medicine.  He started his laboratory at NYU in 2007 after completing his clinical and research training at NYU and at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. His laboratory has grown incrementally in both size and in quality of work and is now one of the leading cancer immunology research programs in the United States. His research is focused on the role of innate immunity in driving the inflammation-cancer paradigm in the liver and pancreas. He has published exciting work in high impact journals including Nature, Cell, Nature Medicine, Cancer Cell, Journal of Experimental Medicine, and Journal of Clinical Investigation. Dr. Miller is PI on 4 active R01 grants and he has trained a number of physician-investigators, all of whom have received prestigious training grants and are embarking on academic careers. In addition, the findings from his lab are being translated to 3 separate innovative immunotherapy clinical trials in pancreatic cancer. He has developed partnerships with industry to help bring new immunotherapies to the clinic and also recently co-founded NYBO Therapeutics where is he developing novel immunotherapy drugs based on work in his lab.
Justin Stebbing, Imperial College London, UK
Professor Justin Stebbing specialises in a range of malignancies, their treatment with immunotherapy (breast, GI and lung and clinical trials) and linking the laboratory to the clinic and vice versa. Having originally trained in medicine at Trinity College Oxford, where he gained a first class degree, he completed junior doctor posts in Oxford, and then undertook training and a residency programme in Internal Medicine at the John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, returning to London to continue his career in oncology at The Royal Marsden and then St Bartholomew's Hospitals. Professor Stebbing’s original PhD research investigated the interplay between the immune system and cancer; he was appointed a senior lecturer in 2007, and a Professor in 2009.
Professor Stebbing has published over 600 peer-reviewed papers, as well as writing regularly for national newspapers and presenting new data on optimal cancer therapies at major international conferences. His focus is on new therapies in cancer, and the systemic management of patients with solid malignancies including a number of new biomarker-based approaches, with an emphasis on circulating tumour cells and cell free DNA. His laboratory work is concentrated on these areas including new druggable target discovery and gene regulation examining the role of non-coding RNAs in stem cells. The charity Action Against Cancer www.aacancer.org has been set up to support Justin's work which concentrates on drug development and has the ambitious goal of developing cures.
He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, the American Board of Internal Medicine and the Royal College of Pathologists, and sits on the advisory Boards of a number of international cancer committees. He chaired the World Vaccine Congress and currently Chairs the Irish Cancer Society oversight committee; he was awarded the Silvia Lawler prize in 2015. Justin's team published in Nature Medicine the discovery of a new cancer-causing gene which has now been implicated in breast, gastro-intestinal, lung and other solid tumours, and a drug development programme around this is underway. The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) awarded Justin Stebbing its first translational research professorship in oncology, aiming to bridge the gap between the laboratory and the patient to ensure therapy is personalised. The focus of this is understanding why some patients with cancer relapse, and developing a program to reverse this and prevent it. Recently, Justin was elected to the American Society for Clinical Investigation.

Kevin Haigis, Harvard Medical School, USA
Kevin Haigis received his Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Wisconsin and did postdoctoral training in Cancer Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is currently the Director of the Cancer Genetics program at Beth Israel Deaconess Cancer Center and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Haigis developed the first mouse models of colorectal cancer driven by mutant K-RAS and N-RAS and identified isoform-specific functions of these two related oncoproteins. His lab currently focuses on how oncogenic K-RAS signaling is regulated by tissue context, genetic background, and allelic variation. (Twitter: @KevinHaigisLab)
