Ko Research Interests: My work focuses on gastrointestinal malignancies, where I have developed and<br />
led multiple clinical trials, both within <strong>UCSF</strong> and across multiple sites. I am interested in the development<br />
and evaluation of new therapeutic agents ranging from novel cytotoxics to molecular targeted agents to<br />
immunotherapies, with a particular emphasis in pancreatic cancer. This work entails collaborating with<br />
laboratory-based investigators on translational science to identify individual patient/tumor characteristics that<br />
influence prognosis and response to specific therapies. I lead the <strong>UCSF</strong> site committee for gastrointestinal<br />
cancer-specific clinical trial development and serve as chair of the scientific Protocol Review Committee.<br />
Nationally, I sit on the editorial board for multiple peer-reviewed oncology journals, am a member of NCI’s<br />
Pancreatic Cancer Task Force and the NCCN Pancreatic Cancer guidelines committee.<br />
