Biography

Janis M. Taube is a Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, leading the Division of Dermatopathology and serving as Co-Director of both the Tumor Microenvironment Laboratory at the Bloomberg-Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and the Mark Foundation Center for Advanced Genomics Imaging. Taube's expertise lies in dermatopathology, where she focuses her research on immune evasion in solid tumors, particularly through the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway. Her lab has made significant contributions, including the development of a PD-L1 immunohistochemical assay scoring system used in human anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 immunotherapies. Since returning to Johns Hopkins in 2009, she has authored over 180 peer-reviewed publications, with her work cited extensively in the field of immunology and melanoma. Her research continues to evolve as she collaborates with experts in other fields, such as astronomy, to innovate new multispectral tissue imaging techniques for biomarker development.
