Reference excerpt

Steven T. Rosen is the executive vice president and director emeritus of City of Hope's Beckman Research Institute and cancer center. He was previously the provost and chief scientific officer of City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, California. In addition to previously directing City of Hope's Comprehensive Cancer Center, he also led the Beckman Research Institute at City of Hope and the Irell & Manella Graduate School of Biological Sciences. Previously (1989-2014), Rosen was the director of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern University, which was awarded comprehensive cancer center status by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1997. In 2015 Rosen received a lifetime achievement award from the Israel Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) for his work in cancer research. His main areas of research involve the development of new treatments, particularly for Hematologic malignancies.

Education Rosen received his bachelor's degree and medical degree with distinction (1976) from Northwestern University. He was a resident in Internal Medicine at Northwestern. He was a fellow in Medical Oncology at the National Cancer Institute.

Career Rosen joined City of Hope on March 1, 2014 as its first provost and chief scientific officer. City of Hope has been a Comprehensive Cancer Center since 1998. Before joining City of Hope, Rosen worked at Northwestern University. He joined Northwestern University in 1981 as a junior faculty member. He was the director of Northwestern University's Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center from 1989 to 2014, and the Genevieve Teuton professor of medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine. Beginning in 1993, the center at Northwestern received National Cancer Institute (NCI) funding as a designated cancer center in the United States. In 1997, it was awarded comprehensive cancer center status by NCI. Major areas of focus for his research include 1) the mediation of cancer cell death by glucocorticoids in hematologic malignancies 2) the use of RNA-directed nucleoside analogs in cancer therapy and 3) the role of proteins in cancer metabolism. One of the nucleoside analogs he has worked on is in trials for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Rosen has also worked to develop novel treatments for cutaneous lymphoma. Rosen is the author of more than 450 publications in his field. He is editor-in-chief of the book series Cancer Treatment and Research and Oncology News International. He has served on a number of boards, including the Board of Directors of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (2011-2014), the American Society of Clinical Oncology's Conquer Cancer Foundation and the Scientific Advisory Board of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. Rosen is an advocate for precision medicine and translational medicine. Under his leadership, City of Hope has partnered with the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen).

Other interests Steven Rosen has four children. He has published a collection of poetry, Stolen moments.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Steven T. Rosen

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Steven T. Rosen claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Steven T. Rosen before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Steven T. Rosen ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Steven T. Rosen

In research: Steven T. Rosen appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Steven T. Rosen in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Steven T. Rosen is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics American oncologists, Cancer researchers, City of Hope National Medical Center, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Steven T. Rosen outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
