Wei Bai, MD

Dr. Wei Bai grew up in Beijing, China. In 1995, she graduated from Peking University Health Science Center (previously known as Beijing Medical University) with distinction. She then pursued graduate study in the United States. Upon receiving her master’s degree in Molecular Medicine from the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1998, Dr. Bai joined a leading biotech company, Genentech, Inc., in South San Francisco to pursue her passion in translational research. She participated in research and development of several cancer drugs, including trastuzumab (Herceptin), bevacizumab (Avastin), and erlotinib (Tarceva), among others in the company pipeline. Excited to bring bench research to bedside practice, Dr. Bai ultimately transitioned to direct patient care in 2005. She completed her Internal Medicine residency at NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital in 2008, which included several months of clinical rotation at Memorial loan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Dr. Bai’s experience at MSKCC further enforced her commitment to oncology research and practice.

After her fellowship, Dr. Bai practiced hematology and medical oncology in the Samaritan Health System in Oregon. During her nine years with Samaritan, she treated patients with a wide range of cancer types and blood diseases. She served her patients with PRIDE — passion, respect, integrity, dedication and excellence. Dr. Bai was also active in clinical trials and resident education. Since 2020, Dr. Bai joined the team at Mission Hope Cancer Center. Compassionate and calm, she is devoted to each individual patient’s needs and goals.
