Amy K. LeBlanc is an American veterinary oncologist and biologist researching animal modeling for development of new cancer drugs and imaging agents, and identification of imaging biomarkers, development and optimization of PET imaging hardware and imaging protocols. She is a senior scientist in the molecular imaging program and director of the Comparative Oncology Program at the National Cancer Institute. LeBlanc was previously an associate professor at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine and College of Veterinary Medicine.
LeBlanc is a board-certified veterinary oncologist and senior scientist in the molecular imaging program at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). She is director of the NCI's Comparative Oncology Program. Her research focus is in animal modeling for development of new cancer drugs and imaging agents, and identification of imaging biomarkers, development and optimization of PET imaging hardware and imaging protocols. In her position, she oversees and manages the operations of the Comparative Oncology Trials Consortium (COTC), which designs and executes clinical trials of new cancer therapies in tumor-bearing pet dogs.[1][2]
