About the Author:
Barbara Burtness, M.D. is Professor of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine and Co-Leader, Developmental Therapeutics Program, Yale Cancer Center. As Chair of the Head and Neck Committee in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group and a member of the NCI Head and Neck Steering Committee, she helps shape the national agenda for research on all stages of head and neck cancer.
Erica Golemis, Ph.D. is the Deputy Chief Scientific Officer and Co-leader of the Program in Molecular Therapeutics at the Fox Chase Cancer Center. Her research seeks to define the changes in cell signaling that occur as tumors spread by metastasis and develop resistance to drugs, with the ultimate goal of inhibiting these processes to effect disease control and cure.
