“Dr. Burley’s presence brings a wealth of insight into protein structure and drug discovery that will greatly inform precision medicine oncology, as well as many other program areas at Rutgers Cancer Institute,” Eileen White, PhD, Rutgers Cancer Institute’s deputy director and associate director for basic science, said in a press release.
