Mark William Lingen, DDS, PhD, is a Professor of Pathology and Medicine at the University of Chicago, where he specializes in the study of odontogenic tumors, oral cancer, and salivary gland tumors. His research interests are centered around angiogenesis, cancer screening, head and neck pathology, and the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer biology. Lingen's work emphasizes the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation involved in angiogenesis and aims to develop novel therapeutic strategies for cancer prevention and treatment. He has a strong background in genomic analyses of head and neck tumors and is focused on establishing non-invasive screening tests for high-risk patients. His contributions extend to clinical trials, where he tests chemopreventive agents and evaluates their effects on early cancer development. Lingen has also played a pivotal role in defining clinical guidelines for oral cancer screening through his involvement with the American Dental Association. His innovative research seeks to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes for patients with premalignant oral lesions, aiming for timely and effective interventions.
