Lisa E Flaum

Associate Professor of Medicine (Hematology and Oncology)

My clinical practice involves the medical treatment of breast cancer in women and men with a particular interest in young women with breast cancer. My clinical research endeavors involve chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, and novel therapies for the treatment of breast cancer. I am interested in ways to optimize and individualize breast cancer treatment based on patient characteristics as well as tumor specific molecular profiles.

Elspeth Morrison Beauchamp

Research Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology and Oncology)

Dr. Beauchamp's research has focused on developing drugs for non-traditional targets through inhibiting protein-protein interactions in order to affect cellular function and target cancer cells. Current work is investigating novel interactors with mTORC components in order to developing novel therapeutic strategies that target the mTOR pathways in myeloid leukemias.
