This groundbreaking conference will gather leaders from biotech, pharma, academia, regulatory agencies, technology, venture capital, and patient advocacy in Boston to revolutionize the way cancer therapies are discovered, developed, and delivered. Submit your abstract by May 7!

Today is #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience. As one of @AACR’s 17 female presidents, I’m proud to serve an organization where women comprise 45% of our membership and 55% of our leadership, building on progress that began with our first woman member in 1908.

This partnership offers thrilling new opportunities to expand the reach of our research network and spark creative approaches beyond traditional funding models. We are excited to be part of this newly formed coalition.
