Adam Resnick, PhD is responsible for leading a multidisciplinary team to build and support a scalable, patient-focused healthcare and educational discovery ecosystem on behalf of accelerated discovery and clinical translation for all children. Adam’s own laboratory-based research has focused on defining the mechanisms of disordered, central nervous system developmental signaling, oncogenesis and tumor progression in brain tumors, the leading cause of disease-related death in children. Adam’s efforts extend beyond CHOP in his role as Scientific Chair for several consortia-based efforts, including the Children’s Brain Tumor Network (CBTN) and Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC), which include more than 30 pediatric hospitals across the globe. Adam also leads the ongoing development efforts of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource Center, a platform supporting data sharing and discovery across pediatric cancers and structural birth defects.
