Melinda S. Artz
Department of Oncology Division of Cancer Predisposition
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
262 Danny Thomas Place
Memphis, TN 38105-3678
I joined St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in 2014 as a Contract Review Specialist in the Office of Legal Services where I gained experience reviewing and editing contracts. In this role I had the opportunity to work with several people in the Division of Cancer Predisposition and was fascinated by the work they do.
In 2017 I transitioned to the Liaison Office where I coordinated the tour guide and lab host programs for the hospital. This position allowed me to expand my knowledge of the hospital by working with the various departments and labs on campus. In 2022 I transferred to the Infectious Diseases department where I coordinated the St. Jude Tracking Study of Immune Responses Associated with COVID. This involved tracking and testing over 300 participants over a two-year period.
I joined the Division of Cancer Predisposition in 2024 and am excited to capitalize on my knowledge, skills and expertise to further grow the vision, resources and activities of this exciting and innovative Division.
