| Research |
Dr. Schelman is part of the gastrointestinal Disease-Oriented Working Group, through which multiple clinical trials in GI tumors are helping to find better treatments for those with cancer. His research interest is to identify more specific molecular markers and therapeutic targets for the detection and treatment of liver and colon tumors and to use this information to shape drug development. |
