Douglas Hanahan

Douglas Hanahan is an influential American biologist known for his groundbreaking research in cancer biology. He is best recognized for co-authoring the landmark paper "The Hallmarks of Cancer," which outlines key characteristics that cancer cells exhibit, helping to explain how they grow, spread, and resist treatment. This work has fundamentally shaped cancer research and therapy, influencing how scientists and doctors understand and approach cancer treatment. Hanahan’s contributions extend to studying the interactions between tumors and their surrounding environment, further advancing the field of oncology and cancer treatment strategies.
