God called him into lifelong ministry in a very personal way, and Samuel was to become the final judge and the first true prophet in Israel. At about age thirty, Samuel began traveling an annual circuit through Bethel, Gilgal, Mizpah, and then back to his hometown of Ramah. In each city he would act as judge between accused and accusers.
Anyone who has ever had to consistently confront others…to be the repeated bearer of bad tidings knows how tough and nerve-racking it can be. But this is what God asked of Samuel. It all started with Samuel’s calling. God told Samuel he was chosen to succeed Eli, the rejected high priest, because Eli’s sons were evil priests and their father had done nothing to stop them.

A. Personal Statement
I have a long-standing interest in the molecular genetics of cancer. As a postdoctoral fellow in Bert Vogelstein’s lab, I was the first to uncover the high frequency of mutations in the PIK3CA gene in human cancers (Science, 2004) and made important contributions to the characterization of their effects (Cancer Cell 2005). My laboratory’s focus involves the identification and characterization of gene mutations that play a role in the progression of cutaneous melanoma. Our ai
