Conquering Cancer:  From the Lab to the Clinic

PASADENA�Caltech will host a symposium called �Conquering Cancer:  From the
Lab to the Clinic,� at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1, in Ramo Auditorium.

Moderated by physician and television journalist Art Ulene, the discussion
of current research into the causes and treatments of cancer will involve
six biologists and cancer researchers, three each from Caltech and from the
USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, which are cosponsoring the event.

Because roughly one in five people in developed countries will eventually
die from cancer, the biomedical community has dedicated enormous resources
to finding effective treatments for cancer, as well as its root causes. 
Today there is a universal sense among scientists that we are getting
closer to realistic therapeutic interventions for this insidious disease. 
This symposium offers an opportunity to learn about the interaction between
the basic research being done in the laboratories at Caltech and the
clinical applications of that research taking place at the USC/Norris
Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Admission is free and open to the public, but tickets are required.  To
