Nita Maihle, professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, has been elected chair of the Women in Cancer Research Council of the American Association for Cancer Research.
As chair, Maihle will lead the council in representing over 2,000 council members, both women and men, from around the world, at various stages of their careers, who are committed to promoting and increasing the professional development and achievements of women in the field of cancer research. She will serve through April 21, 2007.
Maihle is an experienced cancer biologist who has devoted her career to developing a better understanding of what causes cancer, and to applying this information to improved methods for the care and treatment of cancer patients. She and her team have developed sensitive biochemical assays that may one day be useful in detecting cancer cells anywhere in the body using a simple blood test to detect the tumor long before it is clinically detectable, allowing even currently available treatments to be more effective.
