Rodney Stewart was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In the laboratory of Dr. A. Thomas Look, his research aimed to use the zebrafish as a model to dissect the molecular components of Foxd3-mediated neural crest cell survival and migration and to determine if this pathway promotes metastasis of neural crest-derived tumors in vivo. He earned his Ph.D. in developmental biology and embryology from Yale University and earned his BSc in genetics from the University of Melbourne. Currently, Dr. Stewart is an Associate Professor in the Department of Oncological Sciences at the University of Utah
