Jane Wey, MD
Assistant Professor of Surgery

Dr. Jane Wey joined the Department of Surgery at LSU in New Orleans as a surgical oncologist as of August 1, 2008.  She has had a distinguished career thus far.  She received her AB degree in biochemistry, magna cum laude, from Harvard in 1994 and her MD from the University of California, San Diego in 1999.  During this time, she was involved in basic science research projects at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and at the NIH in Bethesda as a Howard Hughes Research Scholar.  She did her surgical residency at UC Davis in Sacramento, finishing in 2006.  During this time, she was a post-doctoral research fellow for two years on a T32 oncology training grant under Dr. Lee Ellis at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.  Following her surgical residency, Dr. Wey completed a two year surgical oncology fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh.  Dr. Wey is not only a well-trained surgeon, but has published extensively on basic science and clinical topics. 

She will focus her interests on gastrointestinal malignancies using minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques and will be practicing at LSU Interim Hospital, Touro, and Ochsner-Baptist.  She will also be involved in clinical research and is helping us to reestablish the Tumor Board at LSU.  We are very fortunate to have recruited Dr. Wey and welcome her to our faculty.
