Meet researcher Zeshaan Rasheed, MD, PhD of Johns Hopkins University

http://pancan.org/ Dr. Rasheed is the recipient of the 2010 Tempur-Pedic Retailers -- Pancreatic Cancer Action Network -- AACR Pathway to Leadership Grant. His pivotal studies aim to identify and analyze the cancer stem cells (CSC) population within pancreatic tumors. Specifically, Dr. Rasheed's goal is to better understand the origin of the CSC, and to determine whether regular non-CSC cancer cells have the ability to become CSCs in response to particular external stimuli. This project will lay the groundwork for future investigations on targeting these highly aggressive cells within a pancreatic tumor cell population.
