John Welsh, Ph.D.
Scientific Advisor
John Welsh, Ph.D., was formerly President, CEO and Professor of the Vaccine Research Institute in San Diego. His group’s research interests were in exploiting molecular methods to develop novel methods for tracing the order of mutation occurrence, the nature of the mutated genes and their distribution, to enhance the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer. The hope was that this may lead to novel diagnostic paradigms. He was formerly an Associate Professor at Sidney Kimmel Cancer. He has greater than 70 peer-reviewed publications, and several patents involving molecular biology and cancer. He has also served on several NIH grant peer review committees.
