About Abbie Begnaud

Facing a lung condition or a potential cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. My approach to patient care is rooted in a simple philosophy: you are a person first, and a patient second.” I believe that the best medicine happens when we work as a team. My role is to bring the latest scientific advancements to the table, listen to your unique goals and concerns, and help you make the best, most informed decisions for your health and your life.

As a researcher, my work is entirely driven by what I see in the clinic. I focus on improving lung cancer screening, early detection, and ensuring that high-quality, advanced thoracic care is accessible to everyone. By bridging the gap between clinical trials and daily patient care, my goal is to catch diseases earlier, treat them more effectively, and ultimately give my patients more high-quality time with the people they love.

I joined the University of Iowa because of its deep commitment to both cutting-edge research and community-centered care. Being part of a world-class academic medical center allows me to collaborate with top experts across disciplines, ensuring my patients have access to the most advanced treatments available today, all while receiving compassionate, personalized care close to home.
