Bench to bedside to... inbox
The new year has ushered in several exciting new developments at the Meyer Cancer Center, including the recent opening of our new home on the web: meyercancer.weill.cornell.edu. The ever-evolving site contains information about our research and clinical programs, upcoming events, feature stories and news highlights, as well as funding opportunities and other resources. It is the culmination of nearly a year of thoughtful development, content creation and curation, and I'd like to thank the small but dedicated Cancer Center team that oversaw the effort: Julie Boyer, Jane Lyons, Evi Giannakakou and Stacey Shackford.
There are also some new faces, as we welcome several renowned recruits to the Meyer Cancer Center family. Learn more about them below, and please join me in welcoming them in person at the next installment of our new monthly seminar series on April 15. Check your inboxes every Monday for our weekly round-up of interesting events and relevant funding opportunities.
The Meyer Cancer Center will be well represented at the AACR conference. Nearly 70 faculty members will join me in Philadelphia at the end of this month as I help lead a packed program that will highlight research innovations in both the lab and the clinic. Read below to learn more about the work we will be presenting, and follow the action live via the Cancer Center's new Twitter account @MeyerCancerWCMC.
I look forward to celebrating new discoveries and opportunities as the year progresses, and I invite you to share your accomplishments via this newsletter and social media, by contacting our new Communications Director, Stacey Shackford, at sts2036@med.cornell.edu.
