Jeffrey A. Borgia

Biography

Jeffrey Borgia is currently the director of the Rush University Cancer Center Biorepository. He is also the Associate Professor in Department of Cell & Molecular Medicine, Rush Medical College. He did his PhD from University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and Bachelor in Science from Eckerd College. His research interest is primarily focused on the development of novel diagnostic tests based on ‘Omic’-level profiling of patient specimens and/or mechanistic insights for pathophysiology. As the Director of Rush Cancer Center Biorepository, he oversee the collection and annotation of patient specimens to support translational research projects and clinical trials that are ongoing in the Rush University Cancer Center. Platforms supported include quantitative mass spectrometry and custom Luminex immunoassays with accompanying laboratory automation and skilled personnel to permit very high-throughput biomarker discovery, assay development (with analytical validation), and routine specimen processing.
