Clinical Investigators

Professor Donald Lamm, MD, FACS

During his urology residency, Prof. Lamm, primary investigator for BioCancell's Phase IIb bladder cancer clinical trial, developed an animal model for bladder cancer and found that the TB vaccine, BCG, inhibited tumor growth. After residency he began his academic career as Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center, rising in rank to Professor and Acting Chairman of the Division of Urology. His VA and NIH research resulted in clinical studies that led to the FDA approval of BCG for bladder cancer. He was recently recruited to the Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, as Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Urology. Prof. Lamm's work is in part responsible for bladder cancer being one of only 5 cancers in the United States that has seen a reduced mortality despite an increased incidence.

Over 28 years in academic practice, he authored over 270 peer-reviewed medical and scientific articles, and in addition to new treatments of bladder cancer he has developed new approaches to the treatment of renal and prostate cancer as well.
