| Abstract: | (CIT): Dr. Helman received his M.D. from the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1980 magna cum laude, and was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha. He completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Barnes Hospital Washington University, serving as the Chief Resident, Washington University VA Medical Service in 1983. He began his Fellowship training at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1983, where he has remained. He became the head of the Molecular Oncology Section of the Pediatric Oncology Branch, NCI, in 1993, and Chief of the Pediatric Oncology Branch, NCI, in 1997. He was also named a Deputy Director of the Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, in 2001. He was named Acting Scientific Director for Clinical Research, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, in 2005, and named as the permanent Scientific Director in 2007. Dr. Helman's laboratory currently focuses on three major themes related to the biology and treatment of pediatric sarcomas: (1) the role of insulin-like growth factors on the biology of these tumors; (2) identification of the molecular mechanisms of metastases using animal models of spontaneously metastatic tumors; and (3) translation of these findings into treatments to improve the outcome of patients with pediatric sarcomas. The primary educational objective of these seminars is to provide new information, ideas, and discussion about timely areas of research with impact on the field of oncology. A secondary educational objective is to elicit participation by individuals from all divisions of the intramural NCI, and thus facilitate more interactions among investigators and groups in the NCI. |
