Joseph F. Fraumeni Jr., inventor of molecular epidemiology, was a “gentle giant” who “bet on the good people”
Chanock and Brawley reflect on their illustrious mentor

If a Mount Rushmore of Epidemiology were to exist, Joseph F. Fraumeni Jr. would be etched into the face of the mountain, former NCI Director Ned Sharpless once told Stephen J. Chanock.

A chronotherapy study in Nature Medicine showed dramatic results. Then it was retracted.
The phase III trial claimed a staggering boost to OS and PFS when immunochemotherapy was given before 3 p.m.

On Feb. 2, Nature Medicine published the results of a large, randomized, prospective clinical trial in the nascent and some say, fringe, field of chrono-oncology—the study of how natural biological rhythms might impact cancer outcomes.
