Marc Machaalani, MD

Internal Medicine Resident at Yale

I am a first-year resident at the Yale Traditional Internal Medicine Residency. I received my medical degree from the Lebanese University in 2023, after which I completed my postdoctoral research fellowship in genitourinary oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School under the mentorship of Dr. Toni K. Choueiri. My research has focused on integrative analyses of circulating and tumor biomarkers in renal cell carcinoma, with particular interests in tumor–host interactions, immune evasion, the gut microbiome, and cancer genomics.

My work has been published in leading journals including Nature Medicine, Nature Communications, and the Journal of Clinical Oncology, and has been presented at international meetings including the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting (ASCO) and genitourinary symposium (ASCO GU), the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) annual congress, and the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) annual meeting. I have been the reciepient of several national and international honors, including multiple ASCO Conquer Cancer and ESMO Merit Awards.
