2018 Lurie Cancer Center Symposium and Scientific Poster Session
The 10th Annual Lurie Cancer Center Symposium and 29th Annual Scientific Poster Session, held June 28 at the Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center, provided a forum for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to display their work, network, and learn about the cancer-related research of their colleagues.
The symposium, co-chaired by Yong Wan PhD, and Sadie Wignall, PhD, featured Keynote Speaker Nancy E. Davidson, MD, Senior Vice President of the Clinical Research Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and presentations by postdoctoral fellows and graduate students about their research in the labs of Lurie Cancer Center members.
Following the Keynote Presentation, “Tackling Epigenetic Changes in Breast Cancer,” faculty, fellows and lab members, including recipients of grants from the Katten Muchin Rosenman, Center for Genetic Medicine, Cancer Immunotherapy, and Cancer Prevention and Control Travel Scholarship Programs, gathered in the Ryan Atrium for the poster session highlighting their outstanding contributions to cancer research.
