David Hoon's Biography



David Hoon, Professor, Director Department of Translational Molecular Medicine, John Wayne Cancer Institute

Professor Hoon is a pioneer in “liquid biopsy” translational studies; have received multiple grants and published since the mid 90’s in the fields of circulating tumor cells (CTC) and cell free nucleic acids (CFNA) as prognostic, predictive, and diagnostic molecular biomarkers. I have significant expertise, leadership, and publication record in the field in the last 20 years. Professor Hoon expertise includes multiple patents (USA, International). Some of the liquid biopsy assays have been transferred to biotech companies. Professor Hoon is an advisor, scientific board member, and founder on multiple biotech companies as well as CLIA biotechs in liquid biopsy analysis in the USA and internationally. Professor Hoon has run several phase II/III clinical trials as companion Dx on liquid biopsy showing clinical utility. Professor Hoon is on the executive advisory board and member participant of CANCER-ID European International Program; a Multicenter Clinical Trial group verifying and validating CFNA. Over the last 20 years Professor Hoon has developed new approaches and techniques in isolation of CFNA as well as interrogating many forms in multiple types of solid tumors including melanoma, breast, lung, gastrointestinal, and brain tumors. Through Professor Hoon's position as a PI co-Investigator on multiple CA state, DOD, Biotech, Pharma, and NIH-funded grants(R21, R33, PO1s, RO1s), Professor Hoon has extensive experience and publications. Professor Hoon has served as Chairman several times on the SBIR NIH CFDNA phase I/II grant reviews. Professor Hoon is one of the pioneers in the 90’s demonstrating clinical utility of CFNA in patients relating to clinical outcomes. In addition Professor Hoon has extensive experience in translational molecular oncology relating to diagnostic and prognostic genomic, transcriptome and epigenetic biomarkers in tissues in Phase I/II/III clinical trials.

We have demonstrated in two phase III multicenter clinical trials the prognostic utility of CTC in melanoma patients. Recently, we have isolated CTC and genomically profiled the CTC to identify significant CNVs that have potential prognostic utility.
