About me
Joshua Reuss, MD, is a thoracic medical oncologist at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. He also serves as an assistant professor in the Department of Medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center.
Dr. Reuss specializes in lung cancer, mesothelioma, and thymoma. His research focuses on incorporating novel concepts and groundbreaking science to develop innovative clinical trials that advance the care of patients with lung cancer and mesothelioma. He has a particular interest in collaborating with scientific investigators to develop studies that help improve our understanding of the response and resistance mechanisms to immunotherapy in lung cancer and mesothelioma, as well as to develop trials that incorporate novel therapies that overcome immunotherapy resistance. He received the Young Investigator Award from the Conquer Cancer Foundation of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in 2019 for his research.
Dr. Reuss earned his bachelor’s degree in biology at Brandeis University and his MD from the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry.
