Welcome Dr. Liewei Wang to CTS!
Clinical and Translational Science (
CTS) is pleased to announce that Liewei Wang, MD, PhD, has joined its editorial team as Associate Editor.
Dr. Wang serves as Professor of Pharmacology and Chair of the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at Mayo Clinic as well as the Director of the Pharmacogenomics Program for the Mayo Center for Individualized Medicine. During her more than 25-year career, she has been responsible for developing a research program focusing on the use of high throughput omics technology joined with a cell-based model system consisting of 300 lymphoblastoid cell lines and breast/prostate cancer cell panels to study mechanisms of cancer biology and therapy. Dr. Wang has also explored applying functional genomic studies related to clinical translational studies to better understand resistance mechanisms underlying responses to drug therapy, work which helped identify and understand biomarkers associated with clinical response to endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Currently, she is also leading a program that develops patient derived xenografts and applies these models for drug screening and mechanistic studies. We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Wang to the
CTS team!
Of course, a new addition to the team often means saying goodbye to a valued member. We wish to thank Kari Morrissey, PhD, for her exemplary service to
CTS. She has contributed greatly to the journal’s success in her time as Associate Editor, and her work ethic and insights will be greatly missed. Kari, we’re sad to see you go! We greatly appreciate everything you’ve done for
CTS!
