Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center
Boston, United States
My name is Karen Wright. I am a pediatric neuro-oncologist and Director of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Experimental Therapeutics for the Dana-Farber Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Program in Boston, MA. I serve as an Assistant Professor in Pediatrics for Harvard Medical School. My clinical training paired with my prior research has prepared me for a career in the field of translational research as it relates to early phase novel trial design focused on target validation, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics while also fostering my interest in identifying detection methods for tumor response, surveillance and recurrence. I aim to integrate my clinical work in neuro-oncology and phase 0/I/II trial design with ongoing efforts to identify and apply potential cancer biomarkers.
