About the Interview
About the Interview Subject:
Ethan Dmitrovsky, MD came to MD Anderson in 2013 to serve as the institution’s Provost and Executive Vice President. He has a faculty appointment in the Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology in the Division of Cancer Medicine.
Dr. Dmitrovsky’s translational research areas include: retinoid differentiation-based therapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL); developed the molecular genetic test used to detect the PML/RARalpha transcript from the APL t(15;17) rearrangement; retinoid mechanisms leading to cell cycle arrest and repair of DNA damage in normal/malignant lung epithelial cells; engineered transgenic mouse models that express wild-type or proteasomal degradation-resistant cyclin E species in the lung; derived lung cancer cell lines leading to a new model to assess activity of lung cancer therapy and chemopreventive agents (antineoplastics).
