Dear Friends,

We are all connected. We are connected to family traditions. We are connected to memories of cherished moments. And more than ever, we are connected to technology.

Most importantly, we are all connected in our quest to advance cancer research at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center and beyond.

Our strongest connection is celebrating its 40th anniversary – the National Cancer Act, established in 1971. The UW Carbone Cancer was established as one of the first university-based comprehensive cancer centers and continues to be the only comprehensive cancer center in Wisconsin, as designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

NCI-designated Cancer Centers are a major source of discovery of the nature of cancer and the development of more effective approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

On behalf of our faculty and the individuals and families who benefit from their work, I thank you for your support and continued connectedness to the UW Carbone Cancer Center.

Sincerely,

George Wilding, MDDirector, UW Carbone Cancer CenterAnderson Professor of Medicine

UWCCC Annual Report 2011 1

Disciplines collide on the sixth floor of the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research, where David Beebe, PhD, and his team of scientists discover how tumors develop. In Beebe’s lab, engineers regularly meet face-to-face with biologists, and the diversity of thought leads to enhanced learning and innovation.

Beebe’s research group uses a technology called microfluidics to grow cancer cells in tiny channels the size of a single hair follicle to simulate the process of a tumor’s growth. With tools they developed, scientists in Beebe’s lab are able to test dozens of samples at once, speeding up the process of discovery.

When Mindy Schwenn’s mother was stricken with breast cancer, she and her husband Troy saw an opportunity to instill a culture of cancer awareness and giving at Troy’s company, Automation Components. Later, Mindy herself was diagnosed with colon cancer, and it became a family affair.

Now, all the Schwenns, including daughters Haley, Hannah and Allie, raise money for the UW Carbone Cancer Center. Whether it’s by participating in the Bowlin’ for Colons fundraiser, holding bake sales, or having a “pink out” at a recent high school volleyball game, to the Schwenns, every dollar raised brings them one step closer to better treatments for those affected by cancer.

“For us, it’s really about building relationships,” says Toby Campbell, MD, chief of the UW Carbone Cancer Center’s Palliative Care program. Working to relieve the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness, the palliative care team provides an extra layer of support for patients and families at any stage of a serious illness, even those receiving potentially curative treatment.

Palliative care is provided by a team of specialists who work with a patient’s other doctors to treat each individual with personalized care. “It is so important for us to understand where the patient and family are coming from,” adds Campbell, “so we can tailor our treatment to help them achieve their goals.”

Clinical ResearchClinical research is among the UW Carbone Cancer Center’s greatest strengths. These research studies uncover answers to specific scientific questions about new ways to prevent, diagnose, detect and treat cancer. They offer patients access to state-of-the-art therapies and discoveries.

Clinical studies are designed to test how a particular anti-cancer strategy attacks cancer, affects the people who receive it and improves survival rates. Often the best hope for effective treatment, these studies also enable progress in cancer research.

Almost $2 million has been raised for the Andy North Fund and has allowed the UWCCC the opportunity to fund promising new research.

Thank you Andy and Sue for supporting groundbreaking cancer research in Wisconsin!

Unrestricted Gifts are truly valuable because they provide the flexibility needed for research to move quickly in unexpected directions and to swiftly pursue promising clinical applications. Unrestricted gifts also provide resources to cover the costs of critical services not entirely funded by other support.

Designated Gifts benefit specific programs of your choice. Funds may be designated for initiatives in areas of cancer research, patient care and educational needs.

Corporate Matching Gifts are an excellent way to increase your giving potential to the Center. For more information, please contact your human resources office or our developmentoffice,(608)263-1677.

Memorial and Honor Gifts allow contributors to recognize loved ones in a special way. Memorial gifts are made in memory of family members, friends or colleagues who have passed away. Honor gifts show someone in your life a measure of affection, admiration

UWCCC Annual Report 2011 20

The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health was stunned and profoundly saddened to lose faculty member Paul J. Bertics on Thursday, December 22, 2011. He died unexpectedly at his home in Madison.

“His dedication and loyalty to his students, colleagues and school was legendary,” said Robert N. Golden, dean of the school. “His smile and good humor immediately lit up any room he entered.”

Bertics was a top-tier researcher based in the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry, an educator who taught all levels of students and a long-time leader on the school’s admissions committee. A humble man, he often said he was honored to be able to participate in the selection of future generations of physicians. He was chair of the admissions committee when he died.

BerticsjoinedtheUWfacultyin1986andwasthe Kellett Professor of Biomolecular Chemistry athisdeath.HewasamemberoftheExecutiveCommittee of the UW Carbone Cancer Center, serving as leader of the Cancer Cell Biology Program, and co-director in the Material Sciences Research Center in the School of Engineering.

The quality of his research earned Bertics the InbuschAwardforMeritoriousResearch,theEliLilly Biochemistry Award and the Kellett Award. EarlyinhiscareerhewasgiventheMarchofDimes Basil O’Connor Starter Scholar Research Award and a Shaw Scholar Award from the Milwaukee Foundation.

As an educator, Bertics taught extensively at the undergraduate, graduate and medical school levels. His teaching ability was widely praised. He was given the UW Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award and many School of Medicine and Public Health awards, including the student-selected Teaching Award, the Distinguished Teaching Award, the Dean’s Teaching Award and the Medical Student Association Pacemaker AwardForTeachingExcellence(twice).

Bertics served his school and university in many additional ways. He was chair of the UWBiologicalSciencesDivisionalExecutiveCommittee, the WARF Fellowship Committee, the UW Distinguished Teaching Awards Committee and the Medical School Research Committee, among many others.
