The RCIMTB Hosts

---

Basem directed three independent cancer institutes, collectively representing 17 hospitals and 12 cancer centers.  He is a hematologist and medical oncologist who has been the institutional principal investigator on nearly 100 clinical trials involving breast cancer, myeloma, prostate cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome, CLL, DLBCL, esophageal cancer, etc. He was on three papers published in The New England Journal of Medicine (prostate cancer, chronic neutrophilic leukemia, lung cancer) and two in Lancet (Shingles vaccine and head and neck cancer). Basem is board certified in hematology, medical oncology, internal medicine, and artificial intelligence in medicine. 

Basem's training background includes: 

MD:  Mayo Clinic 

Ph.D. in Biochemistry:  Mayo Clinic 

MBA:  University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 

Internal Medicine Residency: George Washington University Hospital with 4 months at the NIH 

Hematology/Oncology Clinical Fellowship: Stanford 

Biochemistry Post-Doctoral Fellowship: Stanford 

MIT Xpro Course Certificate: Designing Artificial Intelligence Products  MIT Xpro: Course Certificate: Robotics Essentials  

MIT Xpro: Course Certificate: Drug and Medical Device Development  

MIT Professional Education Course Certificate: Applied Data Science Bootcamp  

Basem resisted the trend towards subspecialization in his career as he feels ideation often happens at the level of the forest, not the trees. He believes many of the greatest future innovations will be at the interface of various disciplines.   His area of clinical expertise is precision medicine, and his ability to treat patients in all hematology/medical oncology disciplines uniquely positions me to sequence molecular-based therapies in the context of conventional therapy and clinical trials.  

Basem presently is:

CEO and Founder of CancerClarity (presently in stealth mode)

CEO and Founder of CancerLight (presently in stealth mode)

CEO and Co-Founder of Revolution Cancer Medical Care PLLC

National medical director for 2 phase 1 Xbiotech clinical trials

Pharmaceutical consultant to several companies

Full-time hematologist/medical oncologist

Contributing author for biopharmatrend.com ("The Insider's Guide to Translational Medicine")

Author of the "Cancer Patients Don't Have an Expiration Date" series

Advisor to several companies in different disciplines

Basem recently turned down several high-visibility positions to pursue his vision.  His goal in life has always been to help people. As a physician, he helped people on an individual basis every day. However, he became dissatisfied as his singular focus now is to help as many people in the shortest time frame possible.

Basem created the Revolution Cancer International Molecular Tumor Board (RCIMTB) to change the way molecular tumor boards are conducted.  He hopes the tumor board will epitomize translational medicine as it resides at the interface of drug development, patient care, AI/ML, clinical trials, and precision medicine.
