A national authority on measuring and improving the quality of cancer care delivery, Friese has led pivotal studies to develop and test strategies to improve outcomes of high-risk care. His research findings were among the first to establish a significant relationship between favorable nurse practice environments and lower surgical mortality. Friese continues to practice as a staff nurse at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, with clinical expertise in hematological malignancies and advanced cancers. In 2021, President Biden appointed Friese to the National Cancer Advisory Board, which advises on national cancer research policy.
