Short Bio
  • Currently, Professor of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology & Biophysics, the I.J. Holton Chair in Cancer Research, and the Executive Director of The Hormel Institute at the University of Minnesota, Austin, MN, USA. Previously I served as the Dean for Research at Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA. I have spent most of my career dedicated to breast cancer research, receiving training in biochemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, and molecular endocrinology, with expertise in several research areas directly relevant to this application. I completed my postdoctoral training at the National Cancer Institute, N.I.H. where I studied the role of growth factors in endocrine responsiveness. My research expanded to the use of high throughput omic technologies and the development and application of novel bioinformatics and mathematical tools in a systems/integrative biology-based approach to studying the regulation of cellular signaling in the endocrine control of breast cancer cell fate.
