Dr. Schott, a 1989 graduate of the USA College of Medicine, presented "From Mississippi to Michigan: Keeping an Open Mind" on April 14, 2016.
Dr. Schott's research interests include breast cancer therapeutics, clinical trials, imaging in oncology and incorporating -omics into clinical research. She currently serves as the deputy chair of SWOG, one of only four adult cancer research cooperative groups in the nation and is a federally funded organization that develops and publishes data on clinical trials. The importance of clinical trials is far reaching as the results set new standards of care both domestically and worldwide.
