There’s something powerful about being in a room full of brilliant scientists who care deeply about making a difference. From big-picture strategy to small-group collaboration, this year’s faculty retreat is reminding us why we do what we do. 🚀

Great day @#FralinBiomed Cancer Research Symposium! It was inspirational starting the program with perspective from Lisa Ward who shared her journey and that of her son, Jace who tragically succumbed to DIPG. They launched tough2gether.org to fight childhood cancer.
