He served as professor and chair of microbiology at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in part to his own experience with cancer. In the 1980s, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease, requiring radiation to his chest. “He became a cancer patient himself, but we got him through that, and he continued to practice medicine,” said Harvey Golomb, MD, Lowell T. Coggeshall Professor of Medicine.

He was the principal investigator of the University of Chicago Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) grant from 1988 to 1999, and chair of the CALGB Prostate Committee from 1993 to 1999. He was a founding board member of the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation, helped found the Kidney Cancer Association, and was a member of the American Association for Cancer Research, the American Urological Association, the Society of Urologic Oncology, and the European Society for Medical Oncology.
