Erica Pimenta, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) whose research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of sarcoma cell plasticity and their impact on tumor–immune interactions. She earned her MD and PhD degrees from Rutgers University and completed a combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital, followed by a Medical Oncology fellowship at DFCI.
During her postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Eliezer Van Allen, Dr. Pimenta developed and applied cutting-edge sequencing approaches to patient-derived sarcoma samples, integrating computational discovery with experimental validation. She is now an Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, an attending physician in the Sarcoma Center at DFCI, and leads a research program within the Van Allen Lab dedicated to advancing the molecular understanding and treatment of sarcomas.
