Camille Mathey-Andrews received an MD from Harvard Medical School in 2018. During her TOPS fellowship, she will work at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute with Dr. Eliezer Van Allen. She will study computational cancer genomics and use bioinformatic approaches to investigate gene expression signatures that contribute to treatment resistance in cancer.

Lucy Finkelstein-Fox received a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Connecticut in June 2021. She plans to work under the mentorship of Dr. Elyse Park at the Massachusetts General Hospital developing resilience interventions for breast and gynecologic cancer survivors adjusting to stressful sexual health and relational changes.

Michael Anne Kyle received a PhD in management and health policy from Harvard Business School in 2021. She is also a registered nurse. Under the mentorship of Dr. Nancy Keating, she plans to focus on nonfinancial costs of care, with an emphasis on patient-facing administrative burden. In addition, she also plans to work on patient-reported outcome measures and whether they can be used as summary measures of quality.

Anny Fenton received a doctorate in sociology from Harvard University in 2019. Her research focuses on understanding medical interactions to identify ways to improve patient and caregiver experiences and decision-making, specifically for women with gynecological cancers. She plans to continue her work under the mentorship of Dr. Alexi Wright studying factors behind repeated hospitalizations of ovarian cancer patients and developing interventions for patients and caregivers to self-manage symptoms and avoid unnecessary hospitalization.

Christopher Manz received an MD from Duke University in 2012 and an MSc from the University of Pennsylvania. As a TOPS fellow, he will work with Dr. Deborah Schrag to investigate how pharmaceutical and payment policies influence the treatment that patients receive and assess if they contribute to disparities in cancer outcomes. This research agenda includes completed or ongoing policy analysis, retrospective claims evaluation, prognostic model development, qualitative interviews and pragmatic clinical trials applied to issues of financial toxicity, payment policy, application of machine-learning and end-of-life care for cancer patients.

Daniel Lage received a MD from Harvard Medical School in 2017 and a masters from Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He has completed his clinical hematology/oncology fellowship in the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/ Massachusetts General Hospital Oncology Fellowship Program. During his TOPS fellowship, he will work with Dr. Jennifer Temel at MGH exploring the use of post-acute care, transitions of care, and hospice in order to develop an intervention for hospitalized patients with advanced cancer transitioning from hospital to home to prevent readmission.
