Biography
After undergraduate studies in biology at M.I.T., Dr. Potter received M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Johns Hopkins University. He trained in Internal Medicine at Stanford University Medical Center, and in Hematology and Oncology at Tufts-New England Medical Center. He performed post-doctoral studies at the M.I.T. Center for Cancer Research in the laboratory of Dr. Phillip Sharp. He was on the faculty at Tufts University, the Indiana University Cancer Center and moved to the University of Minnesota in 2006, where he is a member of the Breast Cancer Program at the Masonic Cancer Center.
 
Research Interests
Dr. Potter’s research interests include: the mechanisms of cytochrome P450 epoxygenases in breast cancer progression, pre-clinical cancer drug development and translational breast cancer clinical trials. Also of interest are the mechanisms of calpain proteases in cell motility and cytoskeletal remodeling.
