Wan-ru Chao

Associate Director
Center for Cancer Research

Wan-ru conducts biological evaluations of SRI and client drug discoveries to treat cancer and other diseases, and health conditions such as hypertension and high cholesterol. Her research was instrumental in the development of SRI's discovery of TAS-108, a promising treatment for breast cancer that has entered Phase II clinical trials.

At SRI for more than 40 years, Wan-ru notes that today's pharmaceutical research is continually evolving. New equipment and novel technologies make the work exciting to conduct.

 

“Ask questions. People are always there to help you. Be persistent and patient—you'll get there.”
