Most of my research in the last 15 years has been undertaken at a national level, and has involved the design and execution of clinical trials. With the recent marshaling of Fox Chase Cancer Center patient care and scientific strengths to address Head & Neck cancer, I have formally joined the Developmental Therapeutics Program. I am able to provide an important clinical context for research, promote translational goals (with patients and physician colleagues), and link with clinicians in other fields. The science is fascinating, and relevant to my background in structural biology. I anticipate an exciting a fruitful collaboration.
