Amanda Lund

Amanda W. Lund, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology and Department of Pathology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and is a Member of the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health. She received a PhD in Biology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York (2009), and completed Postdoctoral training in cancer immunology with Dr. Melody A. Swartz at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. Dr. Lund’s work established the paradigm that tumor-associated lymphatic vessel remodeling plays a role in regulating anti-tumor immunity where lymphatic vessels are both necessary for adaptive immune priming and also contribute to multiple mechanisms of immune resolution and tumor immune escape.

The Lund lab is focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms that govern lymphatic/immune interactions in melanoma and skin in order to identify targeted interventions to tune lymphatic transport and impact immune responses against developing tumors.
