Thomas J. Coates, Ph.D.

Biography:

Dr. Coates is the Director of the UCLA Center for World Health and the UCLA Program in Global Health and is also the Michael and Sue Steinberg Endowed Professor of Global AIDS Research within the Division of Infectious Diseases at UCLA. In 1986, Dr. Coates co-founded the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) at UCSF and directed it from 1991 to 2003. He was also the founding Executive Director of the UCSF AIDS Research Institute, leading it from 1996 to 2003.  His areas of emphasis and expertise are HIV prevention, the relationship of prevention and treatment for HIV, and HIV policies. Dr. Coates has conducted research on HIV/STI prevention among most-at-risk populations in urban Peru for the past decade, including the Peru site of the NIH-funded Community Popular Opinion (CPOL) trial and the currently ongoing Comunidades Positivas (CPOS) trial of community-based HIV/STI prevention. He continues his HIV prevention research in sub-Saharan Africa (Malawi, South Africa, Uganda), Latin America (Peru), and Asia (China).  He personally supervises the Directors of the on-the-ground offices in Malawi (Mr. John Hamilton), Cape Town (Ms. Laurie Bruns), and Peru (Dr. Jesse Clark).  He has also mentored numerous postdoctoral and early career investigators over the course of their career, many of whom have continued on to become leaders in the field of HIV/STI prevention.  He was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 2000.

Biography:

Judith C. Gasson, a professor of biological chemistry and medicine, became director of UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center on Sept. 15, 1995. A molecular biologist, Gasson is responsible for one of only 39 institutions nationwide designated as comprehensive cancer centers by the National Cancer Institute. In addition to her administrative duties, Gasson also is a gifted scientist. She was instrumental in purifying for the first time a hormone-like substance that increases the speed of bone marrow cell reproduction. That substance, called GM-CSF, is used to help prevent infections in cancer patients, and to allow patients to tolerate more chemotherapy and radiation than had previously been possible. In 2005, Gasson was named a co-director of the UCLA Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Medicine and she recently testified before a key Senate subcommittee on the promise of stem cell research in cancer. Gasson also serves as a board member for the American Association for Cancer Research. She earned a bachelor?s degree in microbiology from Colorado State University and a doctorate in physiology at the University of Colorado. Gasson did post doctoral work at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. In 1983, she left the Salk Institute to join UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center, which comprises more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in research, prevention, detection, control, treatment and education. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the Jonsson center is dedicated to promoting research and translating the results into leading-edge clinical studies. In July 2005, the Jonsson Cancer Center was named the best cancer center in the western United States by U.S. News & World Report, a ranking it has held for six consecutive years.

Biography:

Dr. J Rao is a diagnostic surgical/cytopathologist and established investigator in cancer biomarker studies. Prior to be a pathologist, he was already an established molecular epidemiologist involved in multiple high profile cancer prevention studies. He completed his anatomic/clinical pathology residency and cytopathology fellowship at UCLA, and joined the UCLA Department of Pathology as a faculty in 1999.

Dr. J. Rao is a full professor and the chief of Cytopathology, ex-director of gynecological pathology, the director of international telepathology, and the medical director of cytotechnology school. He has dual appointments in pathology and epidemiology. He is also a recipient of Thousand-Talent program of China. He is particularly well known for cancer biomarker studies, as he has over 30 year experience in this area. He has been invited to be a speaker for over 100 meetings and occasions locally, nationally and internationally for topics including urine cytology, Fine Needle Aspiration cytology, gynecological pathology, and cancer molecular biomarkers. Dr. Rao has an active role in teaching and research, with continuous funding from NIH or other agencies for cancer biomarker and prevention studies in the last 25 years, with over 140 peer-reviewed research publications. He is also interested in developing new technologies for pathology especially cytopathology, including imaging analysis, nanotechnology and telepathology.

  

DESCRIPTION

The UCLA Center for World Health and the American-Chinese CEO Society Partner to Present a Discussion on Cutting-Edge Health Care Technologies and Innovations.

With increasing incidence and mortality, cancer is the leading cause of death in China. Many types of cancer are not detected early enough, and many cancer deaths could be prevented by increasing the effectiveness of clinical care delivery.

On Wednesday January 18th, UCLA experts, led by Dr. Thomas Coates, Director of the UCLA Center for World Health, will discuss recent advances in cancer research as well as ways in which UCLA incubates new technologies and develops intellectual property.

In addition, the long-term strategic alliance between UCLA Health and Chinese institutions will be highlighted. The goal of these partnerships is to enhance the provision of medical care in China. Examples include the formation of a regional Tele-Pathology center of excellence, the establishment of visionary medical education centers as well as the strengthening of public and private health systems.

     Come to meet 20 member of China Healthcare Investor's Delegation to discuss business opportunity!
