Dec 4 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am
Medicine Grand Rounds: Optimizing Bone Health in Breast Cancer @ LKSC Berg Hall | Palo Alto | California | United States

Presenter: Joy Wu, MD

Assistant Professor of Endocrinology, Stanford University

Joy Wu, MD, is a board-certified endocrinologist with over 12 years’ experience who specializes in treating women and men with osteoporosis and other bone and mineral diseases, including primary hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, Paget’s disease and fibrous dysplasia. She has a special interest in optimizing skeletal health for those at risk of bone loss from glucocorticoid treatment, cancer therapies, or organ transplant. She works closely with each individual and his/her referring physician to assess fracture risk, and to develop a tailored treatment and monitoring plan.

Wu directs a broad basic and translational research program that focuses on skeletal development and the bone marrow hematopoietic niche. Her laboratory is currently studying stem cell therapies for bone formation, and the prevention of cancer metastases to bone (joywulab.stanford.edu). She has been honored with awards from the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award, the Endocrine Society, the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, and the Mary Kay Foundation. Dr. Wu is committed to training the next generation of physician scientists, and serves as Co-Director of the Stanford Internal Medicine Translational Investigator Program.

Frontiers in Oncology: Immunotherapy for Brain Tumors

Presenter:

Michael Lim, MD

Dr. Michael Lim is Professor and Chair of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Lim obtained his medical degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He then completed his residency in Neurosurgery at Stanford and went on to become a Professor of Neurosurgery, Oncology and Radiation Oncology at Johns Hopkins before returning to Stanford. Dr. Lim’s surgical interest is in both benign and malignant brain tumors, with a particular interest in gliomas (including ependymoma), meningioma, pituitary tumors and skull base tumors. He has extensive experience in new and innovative neurosurgical techniques including image guided surgery, microsurgery, minimally invasive procedures and endoscopic surgery.

Dr. Lim’s primary research interest is developing immune-based therapies against brain tumors. His research laboratory is focused on understanding the mechanisms of immune evasion by primary brain tumors. Findings from his laboratory are directed towards translation to novel therapies against brain tumors. He currently serves as the principal investigator of several large brain tumor immunotherapy clinical trials based on findings from his laboratory.
