Associate Professor
Duke University
Having spent his childhood in the company of a wide variety of animals, Will fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a small animal veterinarian in 2000 when he graduated from Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. He was particularly captivated by his patients with cancer and decided to pursue this interest further. In 2002, he returned to school, receiving an MD degree from the University of Vermont. After completing a Orthopaedic Surgery residency at Duke University and a Surgical Oncology fellowship at the University of Toronto, he is currently the Frank Bassett Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Oncology at Duke University with an adjunct appointment at the North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine. He continues to care for both human and animal cancer patietns. As an Orthopaedic Oncologist, he specializes in preserving and reconstructing limbs that have been threatened by cancer. Given his dual roles in human and animal health, Will is committed to using a One Medicine approach to solving the terrible problem that cancer presents to all of us, whether we walk on two legs or four. His Comparative Oncology Laboratory at Duke attempts to identify common elements between types of cancer across different species.
