The Board of Trustees approved the reappointments in January. Land also serves as the Director of Research and codirector of the Wilmot Cancer Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Land received his PhD from the University of Heidelberg and completed his postdoctoral training at MIT\u2019s Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research.<\/p>\n<p>An innovative cancer researcher, he has been at the University of Rochester since 1999. Land\u2019s research has been published in <em>Nature<\/em> and <em>Cell<\/em>, and he is one of the most frequently cited authors in the field of molecular genetics.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Land was an inaugural recipient of the Outstanding Investigator Award from the National Cancer Institute, a $6.3 million grant that will allow Land to continue to test a hypothesis that\u2019s been the cornerstone of his work for 30 years\u2014that different cancers have many shared features, and that understanding the common characteristics of the disease might unlock the next generation of targeted treatments.<\/p>\n<p>Land studies the similarities between diverse types of cancer, such as a cancer cell\u2019s ability to quickly divide and survive despite aggressive treatment, with the goal of discovering new ways to block or interfere with the genetic programs at the core of what makes cells cancerous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hartmut (Hucky) Land has
