Biography

Dr. Brenner is an associate professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Department of Pharmacology. He is also a member of the U-M Rogel Cancer Center. His lab, the Michigan Otolaryngology and Translational Oncology lab (MiOTO), aims to identify new diagnostic tests and precision medicine therapies for cancer patients. More recently, Dr. Brenner has developed blood and urine-based liquid biopsy tests that are used to support the clinical management of head and neck cancer patients.

In addition to receiving his undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Michigan, Brenner also received a master's in engineering in bioelectrical engineering and a doctorate in cellular and molecular biology for his seminal contributions to molecular mechanisms of prostate cancer progression and therapeutic inhibition of the disease.
