Jennifer Sheng, M.D., is Assistant Professor of Oncology. As a breast medical oncologist, she focuses on comprehensive survivorship care with emphasis on symptom management, psychosocial aspects of care, and health promotion (with diet, exercise and interpersonal relationships). Dr. Sheng’s current research focuses on personalizing and adapting weight loss interventions in breast cancer survivors, digitalizing provider and patient education, and enhancing quality of life during and after cancer. She is also conducting studies to understand and improve body composition in breast cancer survivors, pinpoint clinical and CT derived biomarkers that can predict response to lifestyle interventions, and clarify the underlying obesity gene signatures that may impact cancer outcomes and survivorship. Dr. Sheng received her medical degree at Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School and undergraduate degrees in Biology and Psychology at Rutgers University. She completed her Internal Medicine training at Temple University Hospital, and fellowship training in Medical Oncology at Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center (SKCCC) at Johns Hopkins. As a third-year fellow, she was the inaugural recipient of the 2019 Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Cancer Research Foundation & Conquer Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award. Since joining the Johns Hopkins faculty in 2019, her clinical and research goals continue to address the needs of breast cancer patients, especially improving quality of life and addressing comorbidity in breast cancer survivors. In recognition of Dr. Sheng’s innovative ideas and commitment to enhancing the struggles and experiences of patients with breast cancer, she was awarded the 2020 National Cancer Comprehensive Network Young Investigator Award.
