Biography
Dr. Courtney Scaife is a Professor of Surgery at the University of Utah who specializes in translational pancreas cancer research and surgical oncology clinical outcomes research. She is an investigator at the Huntsman Cancer Insitute and a member of the Experimental Therapeutics Progarm. Dr. Scaife’s clinical outcomes projects target patient care effectiveness with cost efficiency in general surgical oncology. Dr. Scaife’s translational pancreas cancer research concentrates on pancreatic adenocarcinoma, tumor and stroma interaction. Dr Scaife collaborates as co-Principle Investigator on many projects with the Ph.D.’s in the department of surgery research lab. Their primary interest lies in the understanding of metastases through cellular signaling control for migration and invasion. They also have several collaborations with investigators in the main campus basic science departments and some external collaborations with drug research companies. She has received numerous institutional and industry research support grants through these collaborations. Dr. Scaife has mentored numerous residents and students in her research lab.
