Dr. Ligon completed his Pediatrics residency at UT Southwestern and then did his Pediatric Hematology/Oncology fellowship at the Johns Hopkins/NCI combined training program, which he completed in 2019. He then stayed at Hopkins for a year as a Sarcoma fellowship, and spent a year at the NCI where he was closely involved in several early phase clinical trials for immunotherapeutics in pediatric cancer. He has now joined the faculty at the University of Florida in January and will be closely collaborating with other investigators to move novel immunotherapeutics into early phase pediatric clinical trials.
