I’m delighted to be talking with undergraduate scholars at the #AACR2025 annual conference. As a cancer survivor, I want to encourage and nurture the next generation of cancer researcher. It’s a very impressive group of students. AACR

Carrie Treadwell and Araceli Estrada at the opening session of the #aacrssp program. Their hard work in the “behind the scenes” organizing of this program is phenomenal. #AACR25
