Roger Edwin McLendon was born on January 7, 1957, in Georgia. He attended Terrell Academy in Dawson, Georgia, receiving his high school diploma in 1975. McLendon earned a bachelor's degree from Emory University in 1979, then his MD degree from the Medical College of Georgia of Augusta University in 1982. From 1983 to 1986, McLendon completed his residency at Duke University, specializing in pathology. He was a Fellow in Neuropathology at Duke University from 1983 to 1987, then an Assistant Clinical Professor of Pathology at Mercer University from 1987 to 1991. McLendon returned to Duke University in 1992, and was Assistant Professor of Pathology from 1992 to 1998, Associate Professor of Pathology from 1998 to 2001, and Professor of Pathology from 2001 to the present. He also was a member of the Duke Cancer Institute from 1992 to the present. Throughout his career, McLendon's research has focused on brain tumor pathology. Since 1987, McLendon has collaborated with various colleagues, including Henry Friedman, Allan Friedman, Hai Yan, and Darell Bigner, to conduct research with the resources at Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center Tissue Bank at Duke University Medical Center. The team helped identify mutations in Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH1 and IDH2) as a marker of good prognosis in gliomas of adults. In 2000, he became the Director of the Brain Tumor Center. Over the course of his career, McLendon has coauthored two books and has published numerous journal articles.
