I have been fighting cancer in the laboratory for 30 years, ever since my fellowship in Medical Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I am excited to be riding this year’s PMC with my son, Tyler and my daughter, Becky, who is a second year fellow at Dana-Farber and joined Ben Ebert’s laboratroy. We plan to ride 100 miles. This year has been crazy as my lab given the work schedule during COVID-19, but I am very excited to say the lab had one of its best year. Our work has found new methods to study cancer using the zebrafish as a model. We are examining what starts cancer in the first place. We have developed a technique called cellular barcoding that can be used to track clones of cancer cells as they expand. This should have a great impact on many cancer patients in defining the cell of origin of the cancer and following clones during treatment. I'm a proud supporter of the PMC because it is leading a charge to beat cancer. In fact, last year 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's tireless commitment to finding a cure. Please support our cause.
