I have spent most of my time teaching internal medicine to medical students, interns and residents, in both inpatient and outpatient settings at local hospitals including YNHH, West Haven VAMC, Hospital of St. Raphael, and Bridgeport Hospital. I have also worked and consulted within the managed care as well as community hospital sectors in areas like quality of care, assessment of cost effectiveness of new and existing medical technologies, and care of the underserved. For the past 13 years I have been and continue to be primarily involved in Connecticut's HUSKY Medicaid program, which provides coverage and care to a rapidly growing group of underserved patients, including children. After finishing my undergrad years at Davenport, I was a grad student advisor to DC premedical students while in medical school. I have four grown children, including triplets, one of whom was a Davenporter in the class of 2009. I also remain active at the St. Thomas More center across from Davenport's back gate on Park Street, and loved games of touch football on Old Campus, as well as table soccer ("foosball") in Davenport, and playing the Harkness carillon when I was heeling for the Guild of Carilloneurs.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale College in 1974, my Master of Business Administration from Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania in 1994, and my MD from Yale School of Medicine in 1977. I became a Resident in Internal Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine in 1980.

As the past Director of the Yale SPORE in Skin Cancer (YSPORE) for 11 years, and the Co-Director of Core 2, Biospecimen Resource Core, I have coordinated several studies with investigators on melanoma research and provided funds as well as specimens and reagents to investigators for different projects. I have established operating procedures for the collection of tumors, tissues, blood, normal skin, nevi and clinical information, growing melanoma cells and normal lymphocytes in culture for multiple purposes, such as protein analyses, DNA extraction and sequence analysis of novel mutations. These samples are shared with investigators at Yale, other Skin SPOREs, nationally and around the world. My main goals as the Biospecimen Resource Core Director are to continue these activities, to foster collaboration between investigators at Yale and outside institutions, and to ensure that the molecular and clinical information becomes available upon request. My research goals are: 1) to test novel mutations and genomic aberrations in melanoma that promote tumor initiation and metastasis; 2) to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms that lead to melanoma resistance to therapy; 3) to identify new targets for therapy; and 4) to promote the application of molecular diagnosis of melanoma in the clinic. I have trained numerous pre- and post-doctoral fellows and have worked within the department of Dermatology to enhance research programs. Married to Eytan Halaban for the past 60 year, have 2 sons and 4 grandchildren, one, Zoe, a sophomore at Yale, Davenport college all we love.

I received my PhD from Princeton University in 1968.
