Dear Friends,<br />
We are all connected. We are connected to family traditions. We are connected to<br />
memories <strong>of</strong> cherished moments. And more than ever, we are connected to technology.<br />
Most importantly, we are all connected in our quest to advance cancer research at the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong> Carbone Cancer Center <strong>and</strong> beyond.<br />
Our strongest connection is celebrating its 40th anniversary – the National Cancer<br />
Act, established in 1971. The UW Carbone Cancer was established as one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
first university-based comprehensive cancer centers <strong>and</strong> continues to be the only<br />
comprehensive cancer center in <strong>Wisconsin</strong>, as designated by the National Cancer<br />
Institute (NCI).<br />
NCI-designated Cancer Centers are a major source <strong>of</strong> discovery <strong>of</strong> the nature <strong>of</strong> cancer<br />
<strong>and</strong> the development <strong>of</strong> more effective approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis <strong>and</strong><br />
treatment.<br />
On behalf <strong>of</strong> our faculty <strong>and</strong> the individuals <strong>and</strong> families who benefit from their work,<br />
I thank you for your support <strong>and</strong> continued connectedness to the UW Carbone<br />
Cancer Center.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
George Wilding, MD<br />
Director, UW Carbone Cancer Center<br />

Disciplines collide on the sixth floor <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Wisconsin</strong> Institutes for Medical Research, where David<br />
Beebe, PhD, <strong>and</strong> his team <strong>of</strong> scientists discover how tumors develop. In Beebe’s lab, engineers<br />
regularly meet face-to-face with biologists, <strong>and</strong> the diversity <strong>of</strong> thought leads to enhanced learning<br />
<strong>and</strong> innovation.<br />
Beebe’s research group uses a technology called micr<strong>of</strong>luidics to grow cancer cells in tiny<br />
channels the size <strong>of</strong> a single hair follicle to simulate the process <strong>of</strong> a tumor’s growth. With tools<br />
they developed, scientists in Beebe’s lab are able to test dozens <strong>of</strong> samples at once, speeding up<br />
the process <strong>of</strong> discovery.<br />
Learn more about Beebe’s research at the <strong>Wisconsin</strong> Institutes for Medical Research at<br />

Photos: David Beebe, PhD, <strong>and</strong> his researchers embody collaboration between disciplines, shortening the trip<br />
between research in the laboratory <strong>and</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong> patients in the clinical setting.<br />

When Mindy Schwenn’s mother was stricken with breast cancer, she <strong>and</strong> her husb<strong>and</strong> Troy saw<br />
an opportunity to instill a culture <strong>of</strong> cancer awareness <strong>and</strong> giving at Troy’s company, Automation<br />
Components. Later, Mindy herself was diagnosed with colon cancer, <strong>and</strong> it became a family affair.<br />
Now, all the Schwenns, including daughters Haley, Hannah <strong>and</strong> Allie, raise money for the<br />
UW Carbone Cancer Center. Whether it’s by participating in the Bowlin’ for Colons fundraiser,<br />
holding bake sales, or having a “pink out” at a recent high school volleyball game, to the<br />
Schwenns, every dollar raised brings them one step closer to better treatments for those affected<br />
by cancer.<br />

“For us, it’s really about building relationships,” says Toby Campbell, MD, chief <strong>of</strong> the UW<br />
Carbone Cancer Center’s Palliative Care program. Working to relieve the symptoms, pain <strong>and</strong><br />
stress <strong>of</strong> a serious illness, the palliative care team provides an extra layer <strong>of</strong> support for patients<br />
<strong>and</strong> families at any stage <strong>of</strong> a serious illness, even those receiving potentially curative treatment.<br />
Palliative care is provided by a team <strong>of</strong> specialists who work with a patient’s other doctors to treat<br />
each individual with personalized care. “It is so important for us to underst<strong>and</strong> where the patient<br />
<strong>and</strong> family are coming from,” adds Campbell, “so we can tailor our treatment to help them achieve<br />
their goals.”<br />

Clinical Research<br />
Clinical research is among the UW Carbone Cancer Center’s greatest<br />
strengths. These research studies uncover answers to specific scientific<br />
questions about new ways to prevent, diagnose, detect <strong>and</strong> treat cancer.<br />
They <strong>of</strong>fer patients access to state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art therapies <strong>and</strong> discoveries.<br />
Clinical studies are designed to test how a particular anti-cancer strategy<br />
attacks cancer, affects the people who receive it <strong>and</strong> improves survival<br />
rates. Often the best hope for effective treatment, these studies also enable<br />
progress in cancer research.<br />

UWCCC <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2011</strong> 19
Paul J. Bertics<br />
1956-<strong>2011</strong><br />
UWCCC <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2011</strong> 20<br />
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Medicine<br />
<strong>and</strong> Public Health was stunned <strong>and</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>oundly<br />
saddened to lose faculty member Paul J. Bertics<br />
on Thursday, December 22, <strong>2011</strong>. He died<br />
unexpectedly at his home in Madison.<br />
“His dedication <strong>and</strong> loyalty to his students,<br />
colleagues <strong>and</strong> school was legendary,” said<br />
Robert N. Golden, dean <strong>of</strong> the school. “His smile<br />
<strong>and</strong> good humor immediately lit up any room he<br />
entered.”<br />
Bertics was a top-tier researcher based in the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Biomolecular Chemistry, an<br />
educator who taught all levels <strong>of</strong> students <strong>and</strong><br />
a long-time leader on the school’s admissions<br />
committee. A humble man, he <strong>of</strong>ten said he was<br />
honored to be able to participate in the selection<br />
<strong>of</strong> future generations <strong>of</strong> physicians. He was chair<br />
<strong>of</strong> the admissions committee when he died.<br />
Bertics joined the UW faculty in 1986 <strong>and</strong> was<br />
the Kellett Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Biomolecular Chemistry<br />
at his death. He was a member <strong>of</strong> the Executive<br />
Committee <strong>of</strong> the UW Carbone Cancer Center,<br />
serving as leader <strong>of</strong> the Cancer Cell Biology<br />
Program, <strong>and</strong> co-director in the Material<br />
Sciences Research Center in the School <strong>of</strong><br />
Engineering.<br />
The quality <strong>of</strong> his research earned Bertics the<br />
Inbusch Award for Meritorious Research, the Eli<br />
Lilly Biochemistry Award <strong>and</strong> the Kellett Award.<br />
Early in his career he was given the March <strong>of</strong><br />
Dimes Basil O’Connor Starter Scholar Research<br />
Award <strong>and</strong> a Shaw Scholar Award from the<br />
Milwaukee Foundation.<br />
As an educator, Bertics taught extensively at the<br />
undergraduate, graduate <strong>and</strong> medical school<br />
levels. His teaching ability was widely praised.<br />
He was given the UW Chancellor’s Distinguished<br />
Teaching Award <strong>and</strong> many School <strong>of</strong> Medicine<br />
<strong>and</strong> Public Health awards, including the studentselected<br />
Teaching Award, the Distinguished<br />
Teaching Award, the Dean’s Teaching Award<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Medical Student Association Pacemaker<br />
Award For Teaching Excellence (twice).<br />
Bertics served his school <strong>and</strong> university in<br />
many additional ways. He was chair <strong>of</strong> the<br />
UW Biological Sciences Divisional Executive<br />
Committee, the WARF Fellowship Committee,<br />
the UW Distinguished Teaching Awards<br />
Committee <strong>and</strong> the Medical School Research<br />
Committee, among many others.
