With advances in the development of targeted therapies that treat cancer more effectively, Trovagene’s cancer monitoring system provides information about specific tumor mutations and their changes over time, which can help physicians treat patients optimally. I am looking forward to serving as a director on the Company’s board, and to being a part of the effort to establish Trovagene’s technology as a critical tool to personalize cancer treatment and improve patient outcomes.”
