DESCRIPTION:Irreversible electroporation: Shock therapy for pancreatic canc
 er\n\nRebekah White\, MD\, is a surgical oncologist and Professor of Surge
 ry at University of California San Diego (UCSD).  She completed medical sc
 hool and general surgery residency at Duke University. During residency\, 
 she worked for three years in thenucleic acid therapeutics laboratory of B
 ruce Sullenger. After general surgery residency\, she completed surgical o
 ncology fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center then returned
  to Duke as faculty in 2007 and started a lab focused on using aptamers to
  treat pancreatic cancer. After years of frustration trying to use aptamer
 s for intracellular delivery\, she became interested in irreversible elect
 roporation (IRE)\, both as a clinical therapy for patients with locally ad
 vanced pancreatic cancer but also for its potential to help overcome some 
 of the barriers to delivery of nucleic acid therapeutics to tumors.  In 20
 16\, she was recruited to UCSD\, where her time is divided roughly 50/50 b
 etween clinical and research activities. Her NIH-funded laboratory is curr
 ently focused on novel therapeutic approaches to pancreatic cancer\, inclu
 ding a phase I clinical trial of IRE combined with immunotherapy.
