Garry Betty Scholars Program: Meet the Scholars

The Garry Betty Scholars Program pays for international researchers to come to U-M for training in adrenal cancer research

Tobias Else, M.D. received his medical training at the University Hospital Hamburg, Germany and the Leopold Franzens University of Innsbruck, Austria. He then specialized in Endocrinology/Internal Medicine with a main focus on diseases of the adrenal gland. During his doctoral thesis and early post-doctoral work, Dr Else investigated the mechanisms of adrenal hormone action and the role of peptide hormones in the regulation of adrenocortical cell growth. As a Garry Betty Scholar, Dr. Else is researching the role of genomic maintenance and genomic stability in adrenocortical cancer.

 

 

Alessia Trovato, studied Medicine at Europe's prestigious University of Padua, Italy and Charitè in Berlin, Germany. She received her basic scientific training in the laboratory of Franco Mantero, M.D., one of the world*s leading scientists in adrenal cancer research. Through the generous support of the Garry Betty Foundation she is researching uniquely expressed genes in adrenal cancer that can be used as molecular targets for therapeutic intervention in the disease.
