2027 Organizing Committee
Rana R. McKay, MD, FASCO
Co-Chair
Dr. McKay is Professor of Medicine, Urology, and Radiation Medicine at the University of California San Diego, Associate Director of Clinical Sciences, and Co-Leader of the Genitourinary Oncology Program at Moores Cancer Center. A medical oncologist specializing in genitourinary cancers, her research focuses on advanced therapeutics, precision medicine, and biomarker development. She leads multiple investigator-initiated and NCI-sponsored clinical trials and serves in national leadership roles with the NCI, NRG Oncology, Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, and ASCO. Her research is supported by the NIH, Department of Defense, and numerous foundations. Dr. McKay earned her medical degree from the University of Florida College of Medicine, completed her residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, and completed a fellowship in Hematology and Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School. She has been recognized as a Top Doctor in San Diego and by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Prostate Cancer Oncologists.
David Quigley, PhD
Co-Chair
Dr. Quigley is an Associate Professor of Urology, Epidemiology & Biostatistics at the University of California San Francisco. His lab studies how prostate tumors develop resistance to targeted therapy. The Quigley lab uses clinical genomics and laboratory models to study the biology of lethal cancer, to develop biomarkers that predict therapy response, and to understand how tumors evolve. Dr. Quigley received a BA in Computer Science from Carleton College, a MA in Biomedical Informatics from Columbia University, and a PhD in Genetics from the University of Oslo. In 2025 he was appointed to the Felix Feng Endowed Professorship.
2026 Organizing Committee
Todd M. Morgan, MD
Co-Chair
Todd M. Morgan, MD is the Jack Lapides, MD Research Professor and Chief of Urologic Oncology at the University of Michigan, specializing in the evaluation and treatment of genitourinary malignancies. He is also Co-Director of the Weiser Center for Prostate Cancer at the University of Michigan. Dr. Morgan is a translational surgeon-scientist whose research spans preclinical laboratory-based research to prospective clinical trials. His laboratory is focused on developing blood-based tests that can guide precision-based treatments for prostate cancer in real time, and he is principal investigator of two large randomized controlled trials evaluating tissue-based biomarkers in men with localized prostate cancer. Dr. Morgan has been the recipient of Young Investigator Awards from the Prostate Cancer Foundation, Society for Urological Oncology, National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), and Society for Basic Urology Research. He has served on a number of national guideline committees, such as the AUA Salvage Therapy for Prostate Cancer Guidelines (Chair), Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Guidelines, the AUA Advanced Prostate Cancer Guidelines, the NCCN Prostate Cancer Guidelines, the ASCO Localized Prostate Cancer Guideline, and the ASCO Molecular Markers for Prostate Cancer Guidelines. He is a past Chair of the ASCO Genitourinary Cancer Symposium. His research is supported by multiple sources and includes funding from the Department of Defense, National Cancer Institute, and the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
Amina Zoubeidi, PhD
Co-Chair
Amina Zoubeidi, PhD is a Canada Research Chair in Cancer Therapy Resistance at University of British Columbia and the Vancouver Prostate Centre. Her research aims to uncover how standard care of prostate cancer therapy targeting the androgen receptor induces treatment resistance and controls phenotypic plasticity, which has been associated with the clinically relevant problem of drug resistance in prostate cancer. Her research program is designed to identify and understand common signaling nodes responsible for the emergence of resistance to ultimately design the best combination therapy to guide clinical decisions. She received substantial funding from national (NCI-SPORE, DOD, PCF-USA, CIHR, TFRI, PCC). She is currently the leader of Terry Fox New Frontiers Program Project on understanding lineage plasticity in treatment resistance.
2025 Organizing Committee

Co-Chair
Dr. Beltran is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. She is the Director of Translational Research within the Department of Medical Oncology, co-Director of the Center for Cancer Genomics, and co-PI of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center Prostate Cancer SPORE. She also the head of a highly productive research group, focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying the development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer.
Himanshu Nagar, MD, MS
Co-Chair
Dr. Nagar is a radiation oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and serves as the Director of the Genitourinary Program in the Department of Radiation Oncology. His focus is on clinical trials and translational research for genitourinary cancers. Additionally, he is a core member of the Alliance and NRG Oncology Genitourinary Cancer Committees.
