Ann Klopp is an Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. She is a physician-scientist specializing in the treatment of gynecologic cancers. Her laboratory research is focused on understanding effects of the microenvironment on the biology of gynecologic cancers, including host stromal cells which infiltrate cancers and microbial organisms which infect mucosal cancers. Her research is funded by the American Cancer Society, the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas and the MD Anderson Moonshot program. Clinically, she is focused on the use of advanced radiation techniques to reduce toxicity from radiation treatment and improve outcomes for women with gynecologic cancers. She is a member of the Corpus Committee at NRG, the NCI Gynecologic Cancer Steering Committee Uterine Task Force and is the primary investigator on TIME-C, a cooperative group phase III randomized trial investigating the impact of IMRT on toxicity of pelvic radiation. In addition, Dr. Klopp has a strong interest in education and mentoring trainees in both clinical and translational research.
