Biographical Sketch:
I am the Director of Research in Gynecologic Oncology and the Principal Investigator of the Gynecologic Oncology Group at UC Irvine. Within the GOG I am the Study Chair for the Phase III randomized clinical trial GOG 240. I currently am the PI of an NCI-funded R21 grant to study surrogate markers of angiogenesis. I prepared the concept for this SGO 2013 abstract submission of the GOG 218 ancillary data study and conducted the data analysis and wrote the abstract.
