MAJ Rosner conducted her research in the CPDR laboratory under the direction of Drs Shiv Srivastava and Gyorgy Petrovics.
The title and abstract of her paper presented in the meeting:
Quantitative Gene Expression Analysis of Androgen Receptor in Benign and Neoplastic Prostate Epithelial Cells May Predict PSA Recurrence
Abstract
The CPDR mission is fulfilled primarily through its three principal programs – the Clinical Research Center, the Basic Science Research Program and the National Multicenter Prostate Cancer Database– and through a robust education and training program that operates out of its Headquarters location, the Clinical Research Center, and the original laboratories at USUHS. CPDR is also committed to patient outreach, primarily through its affiliation with the WRAMC US TOO! organization and through a heavy schedule of health fairs in which it participates.
