Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Randall’s clinical practice and research focus on musculoskeletal surgical oncology and on building leading-edge, trans-disciplinary teams to combat rare cancers of connective tissue in children and adults. His translational research efforts have been recognized internationally, including: his work as chief of the Sarcoma Array Research Consortium (SARC) lab, investigating the molecular genetic mechanisms of sarcomas; his development of a genetically engineered mouse model (in cooperation with Nobel Prize co-winner Mario Capecchi); and his technical advancements in limb salvage surgery. He is also responsible for the development of the Sarcoma Advanced Research and Clinical (SARC) Fellowship, one of the most sought-after clinical training experiences in the world.
