A happy accident in the lab leads to incredible advances in cancer and dementia treatment. This MUSC and Hollings Cancer Center researcher, Steven, a PhD from the University of Toronto and former faculty at Yale Medical School, provides more. Steve lost both his parents to cancer; his mother when he was nine and his father ten years later. Consequently, when he began his career as a researcher, cancer became a focus of his work. Steve’s first exposure to research occurred when he was a senior in college, which was his entryway to scientific research leading to a Master’s degree in Physiology from Wayne State University School of Medicine and a Ph.D. in Physiology/Molecular Endocrinology from the University of Toronto. Steve was appointed Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology and Cell Biology at Yale University School of Medicine after completing three years of postdoctoral training in the Department of Cell Biology. In 1991 he was recruited to the Department of Cell and Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at the Medical University of South Carolina, where he is currently a Professor and the Associate Director of Shared Resources at Hollings Cancer Center. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
