During the 10-week program, Song helped with research into hepatitis B and its correlation with liver cancer in Asian Americans.<br /><br />The Altadena Guild of Huntington Hospital and the Lucile Horton Howe and Mitchell B. Howe Foundation sponsor the summer research program, which is conducted under the direction of Dr. Victor Pikov, principal investigator of HMRI’s neural engineering program.<br /><br />“Students bring with them some theoretical and laboratory background in biology and chemistry,” Pikov said in a news release earlier in the summer.<br /><br />“By the end of the summer, after receiving one-on-one training and experience working with HMRI researchers, [the students] have had the chance to apply their accumulated knowledge in solving real-life scientific questions. This is invaluable experience for the training of our next generation of medical research scientists,” he added.<br /><br />advertisement<br />Song earned a bachelor of arts degree in molecular cell biology from the University of California, Berkeley, and is a graduate student at Penn State Medical School. She plans to earn her medical degree in 2011 and return to the Los Angeles area to continue work in the medical field, quite possibly in hepatology, the study of the liver.<br /><br />She is the oldest daughter of Joyce and John Song, of La Cañada, first-generation Korean Americans, who own Ka-San Korean BBQ restaurant on Foothill Boulevard in La Crescenta. She has a sister, Sharon, 18, a freshman at Harvard University, and a brother, Joseph, 13, who is a student at LCHS.<br /><br />Song said she became interested in medicine as a youth because her brother was sick a lot and her mother also had medical problems. “I wanted to become a doctor so I could help them,” she said.<br /><br />Her parents have been very supportive of her decision to enter the medical field and are proud she was able to participate in the research institute’s summer program, she said.<br /><br />Although her initial interest was primarily in the gastrointestinal system, after her work with the institute, she’s “leaning toward hepatology,” she said.<br /><br />While participating in the summer research program, students select the laboratory and biomedical project that best matches their interest. The students attend weekly lectures by HMRI scientists, practice laboratory procedures and work alongside medical professionals.<br /><br />Song said she helped read medical charts and family histories on some of about 350 patients of one of the world’s leading hepatologists, Dr. Myron J. Tong, who is credited with discovering that Hepatitis B is one of the primary causes of liver cancer. Tong and his wife, Lori, an RNMSN, who works with her husband as office manager at the Liver Center, served as mentors for Song and inspired her to continue her dream of making a difference in the medical field.<br /><br />“I learned a lot from the Institute and from working with Dr. Tong. I found out about liver disease and I learned about doctor-patient relationships. It was a wonderful experience and I’m very interested in continuing in research after I graduate,” she said.<br /><br />Other students in the summer program researched medical topics such as molecular neurology and pathology, cell biology, and epilepsy and brain mapping. At the end of the program, the students presented their research projects for review. The program allows students to explore a career in medical research while developing friendships and networking opportunities with others in the medical field.<br /><br />Tong said Song’s research will help identify markers of progressive liver cancer in patients and will result in two future medical publications.<br /><br />Lori Song added that Song is “a bright girl who is really well-liked at the center. She will have a bright future in medicine.”<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Fourth Annual Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Classic will be held on June 23, 2008.

He graduated from Flintridge Prep in 1998 and was a graduate of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.

Andrew Torres Honored<br /><br /> <br />Dr. William Corey, left, moderator of a Liver Symposium held by Huntington Medical Research Institutes, stands with La Cañadans Anita and Leonard Torres, parents of 2nd Lt. Andrew Torres who was honored that day, and Dr. Myron Tong, director of the HMRI Liver Center. Sixty physicians attended the event. <br /> <br />Sixty physicians gathered at the Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI) recently for an update on liver diseases, including liver cancer and its rising incidence rates and to hear distinguished guest speaker Dr. Willis Maddrey, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he also serves as vice president for clinical affairs, discuss the growing problem of Hepatitis C and liver cancer. Maddrey expressed optimism about research underway on new technology to evaluate liver fibrosis without liver biopsy, explaining that fibrosis, or scarring, usually precedes cancer and is a critical observation for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.<br /><br />Honored during the symposium was the late 2nd Lieutenant Andrew Torres (USMC), son of Leonard Torres and Anita Brenner of La Cañada, who passed away in 2004 of liver cancer at age 23. HMRI has been the recipient of funds raised by the Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Tournament over the past two years. Dr. William Corey, director of clinical research at the HMRI Liver Center, was the symposium moderator.<br /><br />HMRI Executive Director Dr. Bill Opel said, "With the increasing incidence of liver cancer and the improving ways of treating people early, HMRI research is focused on developing new ways of detecting the cancer early."<br /><br />Hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the third leading cause of cancer deaths. Over 500,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Its incidence has nearly tripled in the United States since 1980 and is increasing in all ethnic groups, including white, Hispanic, black and Asian.<br /><br />Dr. Myron Tong, director of the HMRI Liver Center, who was one of many investigators who came to realize that the association of Hepatitis B and C is a risk factor for hepatocelluar cancer, provided an update on treatment of Hepatitis B at the symposium.<br /><br />Dr. Tong also discussed effective new treatments for liver cancer.<br /><br />When caught early, small tumors can be destroyed with injections or with radio energy delivered through slender probes. Some patients can also be treated effectively with liver transplants.<br /><br />"The liver center has been in Pasadena for about 30 years and has always been led by Dr Myron Tong who is both nationally and internationally known as a for his involvement in studies, particularly with hepatitis B and C," said Dr. Corey. "He has continued to be interested in the treatment and has ongoing drug trials."<br /><br />Dr. Edward Mena, whose medical practice and research are based at the HMRI Liver Center on South Fair Oaks in Pasadena, discussed the growing problem of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease at the symposium.<br /><br />"Dr. Mena's focus on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is very compelling, because obesity can cause serious liver damage and even cancer in susceptible people," Opel explained.<br /><br />Of the symposium, Dr. Corey said, "I thought it went beautifully."<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Fourth Annual Andrew Torres Memorial Golf Classic will be held on June 23, 2008.

Andrew Torres was a young Marine, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, who died from liver cancer in 2004 at the age of 23. The event was organized by classmates and family of Lt. Torres. <br /> <br />Two hundred and seventy guests joined the committee for an awards dinner following the golf tournament, including many classmates of Lt. Torres, parents and friends from Flintridge Preparatory School, members of the UCLA Law School Class of 1973 and ladies from the La Ca�ada Thursday Club. <br /> <br />Ito, Linder and Chandler offered toasts to the United States Marine Corps, to Lt. Torres and to a cure for cancer. <br /> <br />William Opel, PhD, the executive director of Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI), told the audience about the Torres memorial research project, a search for a biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma. He also explained that HMRI is an independent, nonprofit, public-benefit organization dedicated to improving health and prolonging life by enhancing knowledge of life processes and disease, and by developing technology to diagnose and treat diseases. <br /> <br />William G.
