With a lifelong interest in cancer spurred by her father’s passing due to mesothelioma, Dr. Sita Kugel of Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research seeks answers to the underlying causes of cancer. Through her research on pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer), she aims to design and implement patient-specific cancer treatments to target pre-existing cancer vulnerabilities. https://go.nih.gov/KXoOp0Q
