Mark William Lingen is a Professor of Pathology and Medicine at the University of Chicago. He specializes in cancer biology with a focus on oral and head and neck cancers. His clinical interests include odontogenic tumors, oral cancer, and salivary gland tumors. Lingen's research centers on angiogenesis, cancer screening, and the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression. He has made significant contributions to the field by studying the role of NOL7, a gene that regulates angiogenesis associated with tumor growth and cancer development. His work aims to translate basic research into clinical outcomes, including novel therapeutic strategies for cancer prevention and treatment. Lingen has been actively involved in developing evidence-based guidelines for oral cancer screening and has participated in various clinical trials aimed at improving patient care within the domain of oral and head neck oncology. His long-term goal is to improve diagnostic and therapeutic approaches through innovative research that enhances the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying oral dysplasia and cancer risk.
