Speaker Profile

Ph.D., Professor, The University of Iowa, President, SynderBio

Biography
Dr. Henry’s research focuses on the molecular and cellular basis of cancer progression and metastasis in order to develop new methods for its diagnosis and treatment. His laboratory made the initial discovery that malignant cancer cells are resistant to brief pulses of fluid shear stress. Since then he has been exploring both the biological significance and practical applications of this finding. His work on both the mechanism and diagnostic potential of this finding as it relates to circulating tumor cells has been funded by the Department of Defense and the National Cancer Institute, including a Provocative Questions R21 grant. Dr. Henry has over 25 years of experience in cancer research in both academic and industry settings, serving as senior scientist with Millennium Pharmaceuticals prior to his current academic positions.
