Professor of Medicine
University of Colorado Cancer Center
I have been involved in clinical and translational oncology trials my entire career. At the Dana Farber, I ran the STAMP program (high dose therapy with stem cell support for solid tumors) and was one of the first to use peripheral blood stem cells clinically. I have been the Associate Director for Clinical Sciences for the University of Colorado Cancer Center from 2001-2012. As such, I had oversight over the entire clinical trials apparatus at the Cancer Center, including running the DSM Plan, Data Sharing Plan, Informatics, and a Cancer Center wide Biorepository. I stepped down in order to increase my effort to study the role of androgen receptor in breast cancer (DOD CTRA grant) with Dr. Richer which represents a significant focus of collaborative translational research in breast cancer. I have also been the PI of the SWOG U10 since 2003 and LAPS PI since 3/2014. I am the senior medical oncologist for the Breast Cancer and Sarcoma Research Programs. I have been a mentor of medical students, residents, fellows, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral candidates and junior faculty over the years.
