Cancer Research Symposium Held by The V Foundation
On August 15, 2009, for the first time in North Carolina, The V Foundation for Cancer Research held a cancer research symposium featuring a panel of distinguished physicians and scientists from UNC, Duke, and NC State who have received funding from The V Foundation. The panel of speakers discussed developments in cancer research made in our very own community.
UNC panel members included Dr. Jason Lieb (biological cancer research) and Dr. James Bear (cell and developmental biology cancer research).
Read more about UNC panel members.
Duke’s panel members included Dr. Victoria Seewaldt (Women’s Wellness Clinic focusing on breast cancer prevention) and Dr. Joseph Nevins (breast cancer therapy). The NC State panel featured Dr. John Cavanaugh, Director of the Jimmy V-NC State Cancer Therapeutics Training Program.
The symposium also included a Q&A session, speakers from The V Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board and a“hands-on” exhibit by area hospitals that serve the needs of those touched by cancer.
