Valerae O. Lewis, MD is an Associate Professor of Surgery and the Ad-Interim Chief of the Department of Orthopaedic Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. She earned her undergraduate at Yale and her MD at Harvard. |
Dr. Lewis' clinical interests include pediatric and adult primary and metastatic tumors involving the pelvis and extremities as well as limb salvage procedures. Her laboratory interests involve angiogenesis and the use of anti-angiogenic factors for cancer treatment of primary and metastatic tumors involving the bone.
Dr. Lewis also has an interest in exploring the biology behind these diseases in order to develop novel and non-invasive methods of treatment. She is working on developing targeted therapies for the treatment of osteosarcoma and has made a commitment to basic molecular biology in order to answer fundamental cancer questions as they relate to bone and soft tissue malignancies and their systemic spread.
Dr. Lewis used the Traveling Fellowship Program to establish professional relationships with mentors in the field of musculoskeletal cancer research. She visited Renata Pasqualini, PhD, a leading authority on phage display technology, vascular mapping, and the development of targeted therapies. The visit allowed her to perform side-by-side experiments with Dr. Pasqualini and her group of experienced scientists which are directly applicable to her current research project.
