David Boone, PhD

Summary

My research interest is focused on lncRNAs in breast cancer. I have strong collaborations with other members of the cancer center including Drs. Adrian Lee, Steffi Oesterreich, Partha Roy, and Uma Chandran. However, my primary role in the cancer center will be centered around training and diversity. I am the Director of the NCI (R25) and DDCF funded Hillman Academy that organizes ~70 internships to high school students annually with a special focus on training underrepresented minorities. I am also the vice chair of the education and training committee for the cancer center.
