She is the Deputy Director of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, Co-director of the Skip Viragh Center for Pancreatic Cancer and Associate Director of the Bloomberg Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy. Her research focuses on developing novel immunotherapies for the treatment and prevention of pancreatic cancer. Dr. Jaffee is a past president of AACR. She has served on a number of committees at the National Cancer Institute including the Co-chair of the Biden Moonshot Blue Ribbon Panel which identified high research priorities for the NCI. \u201cYou can be an amazing scientist, but what's most important is that whatever you do in science has implications for the patient.\u201d From being inspired by Dr. Marie Curie\u2019s biography as a child to now becoming one of the leading names in pancreatic cancer research internationally, Dr. Elizabeth Jaffee helps us re-focus on the patient and our role as \u2018physician\u2019 scientists. Tune in to this episode of The Medicine Mentors as we journey with Dr. Jaffee to connect the science with the patient. Pearls of Wisdom:   1. Regardless of the direction we take in our professional journey, we have to keep the implications of our actions and research focused on our patients and how we can help them. 2. While leadership is a forefront activity and mentorship an educational activity, both can be thought of as similar in that you\u2019re helping someone become the best version of themselves. That means taking into account each individual\u2019s strengths and weaknesses and tailoring that to the intended outcome. 3. Don\u2019t have just one mentor. It\u2019s futile hoping that one person can teach you everything you\u2019ll need to know. Find a network of individuals that can help you, which starts by putting yourself out there as someone who wants to do more and wants help.   ","author_name":"The Medicine Mentors Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/themedicinementors.libsyn.com\/","html":"
