Samir M. Hanash, MD, PhD Speaker Topic: Proteomic Global Profiling for Cancer Biomarker Discovery Dr. Hanash's interests and expertise focus on the development and application of integrated approaches to the molecular profiling of cancer, with particular emphasis on proteomics. Dr. Hanash's Ph.D. training is in human genetics and his clinical training in pediatric oncology. He was a program principal investigator (PI) for multi-investigator projects funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) while at the University of Michigan, including program projects. Most recently he has been the PI for an NCI-funded Director's Challenge program, which focuses on molecular profiling of lung, colon, and ovarian cancer; and PI of an NCI-funded Cancer Biomarker Development program, which focuses on the application of proteomics to the discovery of protein markers for the early diagnosis of lung and GI cancers. Dr. Hanash has organized and participated in several workshops sponsored by the NCI on cancer diagnostics and molecular profiling. He recently relocated from the University of Michigan to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to lead a newly developed program in Molecular Diagnostics. Dr. Hanash will serve as program director for this project. |
