General Updates
The Department of Medical Oncology has reached a significant milestone as nearly all clinical and academic divisions are now united under one roof. In mid-May, the Solid Tumor, Hematologic Malignancies, Transplant & Cellular Therapies, and Supportive Oncology programs officially consolidated into a shared location, creating an environment designed to foster greater collaboration, innovation, and teamwork. Population Science remains conveniently located nearby, maintaining close proximity to the department's core operations.
Bringing these programs together strengthens our ability to collaborate in real time, share expertise across disciplines, and engage in meaningful discussions surrounding patient care. This integration enhances communication among providers, researchers, and staff, ultimately supporting our commitment to delivering the highest quality care and improving outcomes for the patients and communities we serve.
The Department of Medical Oncology is also proud to recognize the continued growth, achievements, and academic advancement of our faculty members. We extend our sincere congratulations to several colleagues within the Melanoma Program who have recently earned well-deserved promotions.
- Dr. Marlana Orloff has been promoted to Professor.
- Dr. Rino Seedor has been promoted to Associate Professor.
- Dr. Mizue Terai has been promoted to Associate Professor.
These promotions reflect their outstanding contributions to patient care, research, education, and service to the institution. Their accomplishments exemplify the excellence and dedication that continue to elevate the Department of Medical Oncology.
We look forward to celebrating additional faculty promotions as members across our divisions achieve their academic and professional goals. In addition, the department is excited to welcome several new faculty members in the coming months, further strengthening our mission of advancing cancer care, research, and education.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates and developments from the Department of Medical Oncology in next month's edition. As our department continues to grow, collaborate, and advance our mission of excellence in patient care, research, and education, we look forward to sharing additional achievements, new initiatives, faculty accomplishments, and welcoming new members to our team.
