He has joint appointments in Surgical Oncology and Pathology. He serves as an Advisory Dean for the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and as Vice Chair of Translational Research for his Department. His research career began as an undergraduate student at Notre Dame when he worked in the Ferguson Laboratory with Dr. Christopher Evans. During medical school at Jefferson Medical College, he performed a summer research internship with Dr. Eugenie Kleinerman at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Between his second and third years of medical school he participated in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute/National Institutes of Health Research Scholars Program where he worked in Dr. Lee Helman’s Laboratory in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Pediatric Oncology Branch.

The MOTOR now holds over 16,000 unique samples from over 600 sarcoma patients with clinical annotation, making it one of the largest sarcoma tissue repositories in the country.

    Films by Peter Weiss

    This doctoral thesis deals with Peter Weiss’ (1916-1982) films and some of his never finished attempts. The focus is in general on Weiss’ film work activities in the 1950’s, when film held the very central place in his works of art. The intention has been to interrogate what short films Peter Weiss made and to find out the meaning and the role of film in the life of the artist Peter Weiss. The conclusion is that Peter Weiss fought with personal difficulties in expressing himself in a language — a language of words and a language of signs — because it is assumed that Peter Weiss carried a very strong will to become an author. In order to “conquer the words” Weiss exercised himself in describing all kinds of worlds — an interior one as well as an exterior one. That explains why he dealt with surrealist psychological subjects and documentary forms while making films
