Dr. Gregg M. Orloff, Ph.D
Retired Assistant Professor, Hematology and Medical Oncology
Professor Emeritus, Biology
Emory University
Dr. Orloff earned his B.S. in Microbiology at the Pennsylvania State University in 1983 and his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from Emory University in 1990. He has been a faculty member in the Biology Department since 1993 and the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology since 2007. He has taught numerous undergraduate courses, including Introductory Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics and Cancer Biology.
His work on CancerQuest began in 1998 in response to his wife's experience with breast cancer. He directed the project until his retirement from Emory in 2023.
Emory University has provided both financial and technical support for CancerQuest in many ways since its inception in 1998.
In particular, the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship has provided both technical and financial support for the website for a number of years.

* Lee and Nagib have both contributed in major ways to the development of CancerQuest, and I would like to extend them my deepest gratitude. Lee was instrumental in developing the website in its 'early years', and still helps us out. Nagib has worked with CancerQuest for many years, and has contributed in so many ways that it is hard to enumerate them. Thanks!!
The following people have all contributed their time and effort to make the CancerQuest program a success.

Translations
CancerQuest content is currently available in English and Spanish. Revisions of the Simplified and Traditional Mandarin versions are underway. The translations have been made possible by the efforts of many students, faculty members and other volunteers.
Spanish Translation
The initial Spanish translation was made possible by the dedication and selfless efforts of Lily Liu and Dr. Sandra Berrios-Torres.
2014-present: Our relationship with ITESM has expanded and Dr. Ashutosh Sharma has helped spearhead the development of a cancer education and outreach program at the Querétaro campus. The student-led group (CancerComm) works to promote cancer awareness and support cancer patients in the area around the campus. They also continue to work with CancerQuest to translate content and generate original content in Spanish.
2012-2013: We were fortunate enough to garner the continued support for the project at ITESM.
Two faculty members coordinated the effort:
Dr. Ashutosh Sharma
Research Professor
School of Engineering in Food, Biotechnology and Agronomy (ESIABA)
Tecnologico de Monterrey (ITESM)
Campus Queretaro, Mexico
Dr. Prashant Kumar Mishra
Research Professor
School of Engineering in Food Industry, Biotechnology and Agronomy (ESIABA)
Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM)
Campus Querétaro, Mexico
2010-2011: CancerQuest underwent a major revision, and updates were performed by student volunteers from the Institute Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM). The translation/revision project was overseen by Elizabeth Valencia Reyes. We are indebted to Elizabeth for her time, effort and kindness in all aspects of the collaboration.

Chinese Translations
The Simplified and Traditional Mandarin Chinese versions of CancerQuest are the result of a HUGE amount of work of by students, faculty and volunteers at Emory and at our partner institutions in Taiwan and China.
China Medical University Team (currently under re-development)
The Traditional Mandarin translation has been made possible by a collaboration with the China Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan. Initial work on the translation was performed at Emory by CMU student interns and the remainder has been done by Medical Technology students at CMU. The project has been overseen by Dr. Cheng-Wen Lin and Dr. Meng-Liang Lin. The daily translations are coordinated by student volunteers enrolled at the university.
