Research Abstract

Dr. Semenov's research aims to integrate large multi-modal clinical and molecular data from patients and tumor samples in developing algorithms and decision support models in cutaneous oncology. To support these efforts, Dr. Semenov has established a robust clinical program at MGH to support these efforts, where he holds an oncodermatology clinic within the Department of Dermatology and an intralesional immunotherapy clinic at the MGH Cancer Center. His research has resulted in important insights into the role of cutaneous immune-related adverse events (irAEs) as early prognostic biomarkers for immunotherapy response and patient survival, particularly in the setting of advanced-stage melanoma. Additionally, as a member of the Severe Immunotherapy Complications service at MGH, Dr. Semenov has been developing a multi-institutional clinical registry and biorepository for the study of immunotherapy toxicities.
