Dr. Ken R. Harewood received his BA in Biology from New York University and his MS and Ph.D. in Biochemistry from City College of the City University of New York. After one year's postdoctoral research at the Alfred Kimball Research Institute of the New York Blood Center where his research focused on gene expression regulation, Dr. Harewood joined the Central Research Division of Pfizer Inc where he applied molecular genetic strategies to study the role of oncogenes in the development of human cancer. As Director of the JLC-BBRI and PI of North Carolina Central University's (NCCU's) Cancer Program, he leads a project team that is conducting molecular genetic and epidemiological studies to determine the relationship between allelic variation and prostate cancer in the minority community. This work is part of a major collaboration between NCCU's JLC-BBRI and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's (UNC-CH's) Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
