SUMMARY:TREC Seminar - Sharon A. Savage\, MD
DESCRIPTION:The Texas A&M Regional Center of Excellence in Cancer invites y
 ou to enjoy a TREC Seminar with Sharon A. Savage\, MD\, on Thursday\, Octo
 ber 15\, at 11:30 AM. Dr. Savage’s presentation\, “ Telomere Biology i
 n Human Disease ”\, will be held in Rudder Tower\, Room #701. Sharon A. 
 Savage\, M.D.\, is the Director of the Clinical Genetics Branch and Clinic
 al Director of the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the Nat
 ional Cancer Institute (NCI). Her internationally recognized research prog
 ram combines clinical\, genetic\, and epidemiologic studies to advance und
 erstanding of cancer etiology and improve the lives of individuals with co
 mplex cancer-prone disorders. Her work in inherited bone marrow failure sy
 ndromes has discovered numerous new genetic etiologies\, advanced understa
 nding of telomere biology\, and provided unprecedented detailed clinical p
 henotype studies. Dr. Savage also created the NCI’s largest study of Li-
 Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) resulting in quantification of cancer risk and gen
 otype-phenotype correlations\, and a robust cancer-screening regimen. Know
 n for her emphasis on international scientific collaboration\, she co-esta
 blished the LFS Exploration research consortium and the Clinical Care Cons
 ortium of Telomere-Associated Ailments (CCCTAA) and works closely with bas
 ic scientists to connect disease mechanisms with clinical manifestations.\
