Robert Clarke, PhD, DSc The Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota, MN, USA Robert Clarke, PhD, DSc, is an internationally recognized leader in breast cancer research. Dr Clarke’s research applies cellular, molecular and computational methods to data from ongoing translational studies in both humans and experimental models to explore the mechanisms driving resistance to antihormone and cytotoxic therapies in breast cancer. He has developed a series of hormone resistant breast cancer models that are now widely used in the field. Dr Clarke and his colleagues have begun to identify components of the molecular signaling network that integrates cell stress signaling, protein misfolding, and communication among the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and nucleus of breast cancer cells. Ultimately, this network determines if a breast cancer cell will proliferate, differentiate or die, and the mechanism by which the cell will die (apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, senescence), in response to therapy. Dr Clarke serves on the editorial boards of several respected cancer journals. He has also served as chair of two NIH peer-review study sections (Basic Mechanisms of Cancer Therapeutics; National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine – Basic Science) and chaired multiple other peer-review panels. Dr Clarke is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, and a Fellow of the Society of Biology in the UK. |
