Christopher Haqq, MD, PhD, studied medicine and genetics concurrently at Harvard Medical School, and he received his MD and PhD degrees in 1996. He then joined UCSF for internship and residency in internal medicine at UCSF, and fellowship in medical oncology. Haqq joined the Department of Medicine in 2001, and his June 2005 appointment in the Department of Urology formalizes his ongoing involvement with the Prostate Cancer Center. Haqq collaborates with Peter Carroll, MD, MPH and June Chan, ScD, on a prostate cancer clinical research study, the Molecular Effects of Nutrition Supplements (MENS) study. MENS is a placebo-controlled, blinded intervention study of lycopene, fish oil versus placebo olive oil in men with favorable-risk prostate cancer. He is specifically interested in the use of expression array technology to uncover new pathways responding to nutrient and dietary influences in prostate cancer. In addition to his appointment at UCSF, Haqq works at Cougar Biotechnology in Los Angeles, California, where he is involved in early development of new targeted biologic therapies.
