Gynecologic Oncology Fellows

Connor Wang, MD

Third Year Fellow

Connor earned his B.S. in Biology at the University of Virginia and completed his M.D. at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. He subsequently completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Wisconsin where he served as the administrative chief resident. He developed an interest in health services and outcomes research in residency and completed projects looking into surgical outcomes of patients with gynecologic cancers, cancer funding disparities, barriers to patient counseling, well-being of gynecologic oncology providers, and the fellowship recruitment process.

In his research year, Connor is continuing his interest in health services and outcomes research and graduate medical and surgical education. He is completing a methodology certificate in Health Services and Outcomes Research through The Graduate School at Northwestern University and is working on health services research projects utilizing national databases, data from wearable devices, and is investigating cancer-related cognitive impairment. Connor is also completing the McGaw Medical Education Clinical Scholars Program.  

Jason Silberman, MD

Second Year Fellow

Jason Silberman completed his undergraduate studies at Washington University in St. Louis, earning a B.A in Psychology-Neuroscience-Philosophy with a minor in Public Health. Following a year of clinical research at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, he obtained his M.D. from Weill Cornell Medicine. He then moved to Boston where he completed his residency training in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Brigham and Women’s/Massachusetts General Hospital and served as one of the program’s Surgical Education Chiefs.

Jason’s clinical research interest is centered around better understanding patterns of treatment and how treatment decision algorithms can be optimized to improve patient outcomes. Specifically, he has an interest in frailty in Gynecologic Oncology and plans to further investigate this topic during his research year. To further strengthen his clinical research experience, he will be completing a methodology certificate in Health Services and Outcomes Research through The Graduate School at Northwestern University. In addition to his clinical research interest, Jason is interested in surgical education, and plans to incorporate surgical mentorship into his role as a Gynecologic Oncology Fellow.

Shannon Glynn, MD

First Year Fellow

Originally from the northeast, Shannon completed her undergraduate degree at Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Science in Human Science. Pursuing her interests in cancer genetics and precision medicine, she worked as a Genomic Analyst at Personal Genome Diagnostics in Baltimore, MD prior to medical school. She then earned her M.D. from Weill Cornell Medical College, graduating at the top of her class. She completed her residency in the department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Johns Hopkins Hospital, serving as Wellness Chief and Administrative Chief during her tenure. It was during residency that she developed a passion for surgical teaching and received the resident medical student teaching award.

Shannon is thrilled to be starting her Gynecologic Oncology fellowship at Northwestern. She is working in the Daniela Matei lab during her research year, primarily investigating epigenetic modifications in ovarian cancer and the effect of novel therapies on the epigenome. She is excited to continue exploring the growing field of precision medicine within gynecologic oncology. Additionally, she plans to engage in mentorship with medical students and residents during fellowship, continuing to build her skillset in surgical and graduate medical education.
