Sobecki becomes Gynecology Disease-Oriented Team leader

Congratulations to Janelle Sobecki, MD, assistant professor in the UW Ob-Gyn Division of Gynecologic Oncology! Sobecki became the Gynecology Disease-Oriented Team (DOT) leader on May 15, 2023. She takes over from Department Chair Ellen Hartenbach, MD, who will stay on as co-leader during a transition period. 

DOTs are research groups embedded in specific UW Carbone Cancer Center Scientific Programs and provide a multidisciplinary translational infrastructure which fosters inter- and intra-programmatic interactions that address programmatic goals and disease specific interests. Each DOT has a designated leader and participants include UWCCC Scientific Program members, research staff and other UW faculty. Sobecki’s extensive background in and passion for gynecologic cancer research and clinical trials make her an excellent fit for this role. In the future, the Division of Gynecologic Oncology intends to identify a medical oncologist with interest in gyn cancer developmental therapeutics and early phase trials to serve as co-leader alongside Sobecki.

Please help us congratulate Dr. Sobecki on this exciting achievement and thank Dr. Hartenbach for many years of exceptional leadership!
