Speaker Bio
The Childhood Solid Tumor Network
I am a physician scientist and my research program is focused on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of disease recurrence of pediatric sarcomas. My overall goal is to bridge the gap between the laboratory and the clinic and move promising new therapeutic combinations forward into clinical trials. I spend 80% of my time leading a laboratory-based effort in pediatric solid tumor translational research and 20% of my time engaged in clinical care of high-risk sarcoma patients.
In order to better understand the biology of pediatric sarcomas, I have been utilizing advanced preclinical modeling systems and have generated over 300 patient-derived orthotopic xenografts. These models are fully characterized and made freely available to the scientific community through the Childhood Solid Tumor Network (CSTN, www.stjude.org/CSTN).
