Santa Cruz Biden Cancer Community Summit

September 21, 2018
4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Join us for this year’s Biden Cancer Community Summit for the city of Santa Cruz! The Biden Cancer Initiative is dedicated to driving progress in cancer treatment and patient care. The goal of our summit — like the many others that will be hosted on 9-21 internationally — is to discuss and solve problems facing the cancer community on a local level. 

The theme of our community summit is Demystifying Cancer Research at UC Santa Cruz. By bringing together researchers, doctors, and those struggling with cancer in the Santa Cruz area we hope to initiate important discussions and bring awareness to the current state of cancer research. Join us for short presentations by leading UCSC cancer researchers including Robert Coffman, Olena Vaske, David Haussler, Daniel Kim, Camilla Forsberg, Josh Stuart, and Jeremy Sanford.
