Personal Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a tenured Associate Professor and Director of Translational Research at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and I specialize in solid tumor malignancies. As a prior cancer patient, my passion is to uncover important findings in cancer biology and translate these to the clinic as rapidly as possible. Since August 2013 I have been an independent investigator at UNC-Chapel Hill. My research career thus far has quickly led to several high-impact discoveries as a result of innovative ideas and establishment of synergistic collaborative teams. I also have a passion for training the next generation of scientists at the doctorate, post-doctorate, and junior faculty levels. My research is characterized by an integration of therapeutic RNA interference<\/strong>, sophisticated modeling of cancer metastasis <\/strong>and the tumor microenvironment<\/strong>, and leveraging of bioinformatic and systems biology approaches to uncover key nodes in cancer networks<\/strong>. In 2019 I founded EnFuego Therapeutics based on a pipeline of ligand-delivered RNA-based technologies developed in my laboratory, and our long-term goal is to translate these technologies to the clinic. Because metastatic spread accounts for the greatest proportion of cancer-related deaths, most of my current work uses lung and triple-negative breast cancers as disease models with the hopes that our discoveries will also fundamentally impact treatment paradigms in other aggressive malignancies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
