Clinical and Experimental Therapeutics
Leadership
Program Leaders: Wendy Stock, MD, Akash Patnaik, MD and Mark Applebaum, MD
Assistant Program Leader: Christine Bestvina, MD
Community Research Advisor: Alicia Cook
The Clinical and Experimental Therapeutics Program is a cohesive, integrated program with a long-standing focus on drug development at all phases of clinical testing and a strong pharmacogenomics component. The program fosters interaction between basic and clinical scientists for the development of innovative and effective therapies, including image-based approaches.
Key Research Themes
- Conduct pharmacogenomics studies to identify how an individual’s genetic make-up determines their response to drugs, including chemotherapy
- Identify novel molecular targets for cancer therapy
- Develop innovative cancer clinical trials and new biomarkers to predict or measure therapeutic response
- Translate research findings into clinical application and implement new therapies, tests or tools into cancer patient care
