Howard Alan Fine, M.D., Senior Investigator

Dr. Fine received his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and his M.D. from Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York. After medical internship and residency at the University of Pennsylvania, he completed a fellowship in medical oncology at the Harvard Medical School's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA. Dr. Fine received the NCI Director's Gold Star Award in 2004, the Dana-Farber Harvard Cancer Center's Clinical Investigator Award in 1999 and the Emil Frei III Clinical Investigator Award in 1993. As a former director of both the Neuro-Oncology Disease Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Neuro-Oncology Program at the Harvard Cancer Center, he joined the NCI's Center for Cancer Research in 2000 to help establish its Neuro-Oncology Branch. As chief of the Neuro-Oncology Branch, Dr. Fine's lab focuses on angiogenesis, glioma molecular genetics, and neural stem cell biology.
