Spotlight: Principal Investigators


Learn more about our Principal Investigators here at Moores Cancer Center, including their Translational Oncology Research and toolbox of models they use. For all interviews, please see the Principal Investigators page.


Andrew Lowy, MD, FACS, Chief, Division of Surgical Oncology, Professor of Surgery

Andrew Lowy, MD, FACS, is a surgical oncologist with a primary interest in cancers of the pancreas, liver and GI tract. He has a specialty interest in the management of patients with metastatic disease to the liver and peritoneum. Dr. Lowy has furthered the development of a promising treatment known as the “chemo bath” or heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), to treat advanced abdominal cancers.


Tony Reid, MD, PhD, Executive Director, Clinical Trials, Professor of Clinical Medicine, Division of Hematology-Oncology

Dr. Reid is working towards developing new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of cancer, primarily gastrointestinal malignancies including colorectal, pancreatic, esophageal and hepatobillary cancers. Dr. Reid has pioneered the use of gene therapy and viral vectors to selectively kill tumor cells and enhance the immune response to the cancer.


Jason Sicklick, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology

Jason K. Sicklick, MD, investigates the novel allosteric kinase inhibitors of drug-resistant melanoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). He also studies the role of the Hedgehog developmental signaling pathway in cirrhosis and liver cancer development. He is working towards identifying novel therapeutic targets for these conditions and initiating clinical trials to investigate them.
