Academic work[]

Bosl is a specialist in the treatment of genitourinary tumors particularly in testicular cancer. He is known for targeting a marker chromosome for Germ cell tumors.[10][11] His studies investigate molecular targets of drug resistance in patients and developing dose-intensive chemotherapy and new chemotherapeutic agents, evaluating new combinations for patients with relapsing or resistant disease.[12] Some of his research is also centered on new therapies for head and neck cancers.[13][14][15] Bosl received in 2007 the American Society of Clinical Oncology Statesman Award.[16][17]
