Biography

Beverly S. Mitchell, M.D. is the George E. Becker Professor of Medicine, Emerita at Stanford University. She led the Molecular Therapeutics Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center before joining the Stanford faculty. Dr. Mitchell has served as Associate Director of Translational Research and Chief of the Division of Hematology/Oncology. She has authored 130 peer-reviewed articles and held significant positions in prestigious organizations, including President of the American Society of Hematology and Chair of the Medical Scientific Affairs Committee for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of America. Her current research focuses on the development of new therapies for hematologic malignancies, emphasizing preclinical proof-of-principle studies on mechanisms inducing cell death through metabolic targets involving nucleic acid biosynthesis in malignant cells. Recent studies have explored the role of nucleolar proteins in cellular stress responses and their involvement in regulating ribosomal RNA synthesis within hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, particularly in the context of dysregulated synthesis associated with bone marrow failure syndromes.
