February 10, 2014 TWiPO #18 ~ Targeting EWS-FLI1 in Ewing’s Sarcoma: Interview with Dr Jeff Toretsky
October

18, 2011

Host Dr. Tim Cripe and co-host Dr. Lionel Chow

welcome special guest Dr. Jeff Toretsky on TWiPO to discuss his clinical and

research interest in Ewing's sarcoma. Dr. Toretsky explains the challenges of

developing a clinical grade drug from a small molecule for a specific target

such as EWS-FLI1. The small market for a disease like Ewing's creates

formidable hurdles for researchers, yet Dr. Toretsky is driven on by the

question "If I don't do this, who will?" (17:54 mins)

Dr. Jeff Toretsky is Professor of Oncology and

Pediatrics at Georgetown University. He graduated with BS in Biochemistry from

University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, and recieved his MD from University of

Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN. He completed fellowship training at the NCI

Pediatric Branch.
