Dr. Versha Banerji	Haematology / Oncology	As a clinical scientist my goal is to bring effective and tolerable treatments to patients with blood cancers. My research program, aims to target dependency on metabolism in cancer. Many novel agents are being developed and combined with excellent efficacy but challenges with tolerability. In addition, novel agents are entering clinical practice and we are now seeing resistance arise in the most effective treatments. Many of the resistance patterns are secondary to increases oxidative phosphorylation as the survival mechanism of these cells. My program focuses on the evaluation of small molecules or approved compounds on mitochondrial metabolism in cancer cells using primary cells or cell lines models using a suspension based method to evaluation oxygen consumption. With this platform we aim to identify candidates compounds to move from pre-clinical to in vivo testing. We design combination therapies and evaluate dose reduction strategies in vitro and ex vivo.

I have sent an email to the Physician Services Managers to ask to have the research interests updated. User:Ttenbergen 13:28, 2020 March 12 (CDT)

Drs on list who we don't have a record of

These were doctors on the first tab of the excel sheet who are not on our wiki. Should they be currently on the list? If they are doctors in our department, we should have a page for them. If they are legitimate mentors but from outside the department, please move them to the section above. If they are neither they should probably come of the list, so pls delete them.
