Nyall R. London Jr.

Nyall R. London Jr. serves as Associate Professor of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Neurological Surgery, and Oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he maintains an active clinical practice specializing in complex sinonasal and skull base cancers through integrated open/endoscopic surgical approaches and neck dissection.

His educational trajectory includes:

• PhD from University of Utah School of Medicine (2011)
• MD from University of Utah School of Medicine (2013)
• Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Residency at Johns Hopkins (2018)
• Skull Base Surgery Fellowship at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (2019)

Dr. London's research program investigates molecular mechanisms of sinonasal tumorigenesis and develops novel immunotherapies, resulting in over 130 publications including co-first authorships in Nature, Nature Medicine, and Science Translational Medicine. As president of the International Network for Sinonasal Cancer Research (2024-2026) and associate editor for the inaugural international consensus statement on sinonasal tumors, he drives global standardization of care while leading multiple NCI-funded clinical trials at the National Cancer Institute laboratory he directs.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Top Doctor 2023 (Bethesda Magazine)
• Frank Coulson, Jr. Award for Clinical Excellence (2018)
• Duane Sewell Resident Award for Professionalism (2018)
• NCI Director's Award (2020)
• Department Research Award (2023)

Through the Johns Hopkins Sinus Center, Skull Base Tumor Center, and Head & Neck Cancer Center, he develops patient education initiatives and multidisciplinary care pathways while mentoring junior researchers in his NIH laboratory. His clinical trial innovations focus on translating molecular discoveries into targeted therapies for rare sinonasal malignancies.
