Lab Members

Dr. Josh Broadman is a pediatric hematology-oncology fellow and aspiring physician-scientist at the University of Colorado and Children’s Hospital Colorado. Dr. Broadman earned his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Health Sciences and completed his pediatric residency at the University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville. He is currently completing subspecialty training in pediatric hematology, oncology, and bone marrow transplantation at the University of Colorado.

Prior to medicine, Dr. Broadman completed a Master’s degree in clinical exercise and respiratory physiology at McGill University, where his thesis focused on ventilatory efficiency and neural respiratory drive during induced metabolic alkalosis. This early interest in human performance and physiologic adaptation evolved into a clinical and research focus on pediatric cancer survivorship, immunotherapy, and mental health. During fellowship, Dr. Broadman joined the Hayashi Lab to develop T cell–based immunotherapies for pediatric solid tumors, with a specific focus on Ewing sarcoma. His work involves preclinical development of CAR T cells targeting TSPAN8, a surface protein highly expressed on both primary and circulating tumor cells, with the aim of intercepting metastatic relapse. 

Dr. Broadman’s academic interests span, CAR T-cell therapy, resident-physician simulation, psychosocial oncology, and improving health literacy through digital tools. Outside the hospital, he enjoys spending time with his wife and son, skiing, producing music, and playing ultimate frisbee.
