The Duke University Cancer Institute recently announced that Kris C. Wood, Ph.D., (KY A ’02), will receive the 2015 Liz Tilberis Early Career Award from the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). The award was “launched in 2000 to honor OCRF’s late president Liz Tilberis and is given to junior faculty demonstrating a strong commitment to an investigative career in ovarian cancer research.”
According to the article, Dr. Wood’s lab recently developed a pair of companion methods referred to as Oncopathway Profiling. “These methods enable us, for the first time, to rapidly and systematically identify the specific processes cancer cells use to overcome the toxicity of chemotherapies,” said Dr. Wood. “Our goal is to design new therapies that reverse these processes, synergistically enhancing chemotherapeutic efficacy.”
