A Short Biography:

Dr. Reiter is Professor and Bing Chair in Urologic Oncology in the Department of Urology, a member of the Molecular Biology Institute and JCCC. He leads the Prostate Cancer Program and has been PI of UCLA's Prostate Cancer SPORE program since 2007. His research is focused on molecular and functional imaging of prostate cancer, the discovery of novel targets for therapy and diagnosis, and the mechanisms by which prostate cancers evade current therapeutic approaches. He also is Assistant Dean of Bio-entrepreneurship in the DGSOM where he helps lead a faculty advisory to the newly established DGSOM Accelerator.
