INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED GYNECOLOGIC CANCER RESEARCHER JOINS OHIO STATE
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Internationally renowned uterine cancer researcher and geneticist Paul Goodfellow will lead a new team of three researchers devoted to gynecologic oncology research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center -- Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC -- James). "Paul #39;s expertise on the genetic and epigenetic events associated with the initiation and progression of uterine endometrial cancer makes him well-suited to lead this effort to accelerate gynecologic oncology research from basic science to Phase 1 clinical trials," says Dr. Michael Caligiuri, director of Ohio State #39;s Comprehensive Cancer Center and CEO of The James. "He is one of the latest high-level recruits that we have brought to Ohio State thanks to funds raised through Pelotonia," says Caligiuri. "We are now capitalizing on the combined clinical and research expertise at Ohio State to devise better approaches to treating endometrial cancer and breast cancer, with the ultimate goal of bringing new treatments to patients sooner." Goodfellow comes to Ohio State from Washington University School of Medicine, where he was a professor of surgery, of genetics and of obstetrics and gynecology. "As a geneticist, I #39;m interested in the genetics of tumor cells, and how gene changes influence how aggressively cancer cells will spread," says Goodfellow, who has a doctorate of biology/pediatrics from Queen #39;s University, Kingston, Canada. He also has a ...
