I am excited to ride in support of the mission of the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) to prevent, treat, and cure cancer. I have had the great privilege of being a cancer research scientist my entire professional life and there has never been a more exciting and promising time to be working in this field. Over the past decade, we have learned to cure patients with cancers that previously had a 100% fatality rate. But this remains true for only some patients and some cancers - there is much still to be done by the cancer researchers of today, and those to come. In addition to my research program, I also have the privilege of being the Director of Graduate Studies for the PhD training program within the Cancer Center and Department of Oncology. That is why in addition to riding myself, I have created Team TBIO - representing the faculty and students of the Interdisciplinary Training Program in Tumor Biology. Go Team TBIO!
