Committed to Advancing<br />
Development of Improved<br />
Cancer Therapies, Imaging<br />
Modalities, and Biomarkers<br />
As president of the <strong>UCSF</strong> Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer<br />
Center, one of my key priorities is to initiate and advance programs<br />
that are developing new anticancer drugs making significant impact<br />
on helping cancer patients live longer and better lives. I recognize this<br />
goal is best accomplished by working in partnership with the broader<br />
life science industry. This searchable abstract book of <strong>UCSF</strong> research<br />
presented at ASCO is a resource for potential partners interested in<br />
identifying world-class faculty engaged in clinical oncology research.<br />
As an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, <strong>UCSF</strong> is<br />
recognized for our outstanding science, extensive resources, depth<br />
and breadth of our research in basic, clinical, and/or population<br />
sciences, as well as cutting edge research that bridges these<br />
scientific areas. Practically this means that our clinicians and basic<br />
scientists work closely together to (1) identify, develop and optimize<br />
novel therapeutics for biological efficacy and clinical utility, (2) assess<br />
tumor status and responsiveness to current therapies, (3) develop<br />
biomarkers for patient stratification and therapeutic response and (4)<br />
advance supportive care options to mitigate the toxicities associated<br />
with chemotherapy.<br />
