Edgar G. Engleman (born 1945) is an American pathologist and physician-scientist who researches cancer immunology. He is a professor of pathology and of medicine (immunology and rheumatology) at Stanford University School of Medicine.[1] He is also a co-founder of Vivo Capital, a Healthcare Investment firm.[2]
Engleman earned a B.A., magna cum laude, from Harvard College in 1967.[3] He completed a M.D. from the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in 1971.[3] He was an intern in medicine at Moffitt Hospital, University of California, San Francisco from 1971 to 1972.[3] This was followed by a residency at the University of California Hospital in San Francisco from 1972 to 1973.[3] Engleman was a research associate in the laboratory of biochemistry under Earl Reece Stadtman at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute from 1973 to 1976.[3] He was a postdoctoral fellow in immunogenetics and rheumatology under Hugh McDevitt at the Stanford University School of Medicine from 1976 to 1978.[3]
After studying immunology as a post-doctoral fellow, in 1978, Engleman became a faculty member in the department of pathology.[4][3] He was an assistant professor of pathology and medicine.[3] He was promoted to professor with tenure in 1990. The same year, he won an NIH MERIT award.[3]
At Stanford University, Engleman has been researching the immune system and its role in diseases for forty years.[4] Since 1980 he has been the founding director of the Stanford Blood Center,[1] which allowed him to access immune cells (or white blood cells) for his immunological research.[4] He moved into the field of cancer biology.[4] He directs the Engleman Lab, focusing on studying the cellular immunology of cancer.[5] His research was the basis for the first active immunotherapeutic strategy for cancer to be approved by the FDA in 2010.[6]
