Jared H. Rowe, MD, PhD

Jared Rowe, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, an Attending Physician at the Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, and the Principal Investigator of the Rowe Laboratory at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He received his MD and PhD degrees from the University of Minnesota in 2014. He then moved to Boston, where he completed his residency at Boston Children’s Hospital in 2017 and his Fellowship in Hematology/Oncology at the Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center in 2020. Dr. Rowe has been a faculty member at Dana-Farber since 2020 and an Independent Investigator since 2023. 

As a pediatric oncologist and physician-scientist, Dr. Rowe is driven to understand how child development shapes the immune system and to leverage these insights to improve treatments for children with cancer. His work so far has revealed new insights into T cell exhaustion, metabolic control of immunity, and key differences in the transcriptional and signaling programs in neonatal T cells. The Rowe Laboratory uses translational approaches to bridge bench science with the clinic, while remaining centered on the potential for the immune system to enhance both the safety and efficacy of current cancer therapies.
