University Appoints Top Cancer Researchers Following last week's announcement of the appointment of Matthew Kluger as the new vice president for research, George Mason continues its commitment to become a nationally acclaimed research institution by naming two of the world's leading scientists in molecular medicine to its faculty. Lance Liotta and Emanuel Petricoin III, codirectors of the National Cancer Institute/Food and Drug Administration Clinical Proteomics Program, join the university this spring.
Their renowned collaboration has produced more than 100 publications and numerous proteomic processes to develop new methods for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Combining their clinical and research expertise, they invented a new type of protein microarray technology to simultaneously measure multiple protein pathways from a biopsy specimen. Understanding the activity of protein pathways may ultimately lead to personalized medical treatment and significantly impact public health.
In addition to their invention and development of new types of protein microarray technologies, they recently have made several seminal discoveries for biomarker-based research that may assist in the diagnosis of cancer and other diseases.
