Dr.
Fruehauf received his undergraduate degrees in
psychology and biology at UC Santa Barbara in
1977. He then completed his MD and PhD in Pharmacology
at Rush University in Chicago in 1985. Rush, established
in 1837, was the first medical school west of
the Appalachian Mountains. He then returned to
the UC system for his Residency in Internal Medicine
at UC Irvine, followed by Fellowships in Medical
Oncology and Biotechnology at the National Cancer
Institute in Bethesda. While at the NCI, Dr. Fruehauf
participated in bench to bedside research, converting
in vitro results into clinical trials. In 1992,
Dr. Fruehauf returned to California and worked
as the Medical Director and Chief Scientific Officer
for Oncotech in Irvine,
|
|
where he focused on the development of individualized
treatment strategies for cancer patients based
on their own unique tumor biology. Dr. Fruehauf
joined the UC Irvine Cancer Center full time in
2004 as Director of Clinical Pharmacology and
Developmental Therapeutics. Dr. Fruehauf’s
laboratory efforts focus on identifying markers
that predict individual patient response to treatment,
with special emphasis on antiangiogenesis agents.
