We are thrilled to grant Brown University’s Dr. Hina Khan our inaugural Medical Honoree Award for the 2024 Providence LUNG FORCE Walk. This award honors healthcare professionals with demonstrated experience related to lung cancer screening, prevention, treatment, or research in the state of Rhode Island.
Dr. Khan is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Brown University. She is a Thoracic Oncologist at the Lifespan Cancer Institute at Rhode Island and Miriam Hospitals in Providence, RI. Dr. Khan leads several clinical trials across all phases of drug development, in addition to her work in translational research in lung cancer. Dr. Khan also has a truly informed commitment to addressing and improving disparities within the lung cancer population. In Rhode Island, she has studied the burden of Radon exposure and its genomic imprints on lung cancer. She is identifying areas with significant exposure and studying ways to improve patient outcomes. She leads a comprehensive program of public education and nodule management to increase Lung Cancer Screening in the Underserved Populations of Rhode Island. She is a recipient of the Robert A. Winn/BMSF Diversity in Clinical Trials award to lead her project, working within the RI community to increasing lung cancer screening rates by implementing a community-based navigator program.
