Nate Mesko, MD

2008

Dr. Nate Mesko is the grandfather of the research fellowship, completing a summer of research with Dr. Della Valle while a medical student at Loyola. He is now the Section Head for Orthopaedic Oncology at the Cleveland Clinic, as well as an Assistant Professor of orthopaedic oncology and adult reconstruction. Before his current appointment, Nate travelled around the world as a Fellow of the MSK Tumor Society to foster collaboration between sarcoma research centers. Although it’s been a few years since he won Best Poster at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons 2006 meeting, he says “it is still quite an honor as I look back on it.”
