Abstract

For his extensive characterization of the underlying mechanisms of cancer and its resulting clinical impact, Dr. Vogelstein will receive the 2015 Dr. Paul Janssen Award for Biomedical Research. We invite you to join the Academy in honoring Dr. Vogelstein at a free scientific symposium in his honor where he will reflect on his influential work defining how cancer is studied, diagnosed, and treated, and share his vision for the future discoveries in the field. Following his Award lecture, fellow prominent scientists at the forefront of oncology research will discuss emerging concepts and technologies in both basic and clinical cancer research.
