There’s a couple events of interest this week. The 2011 Research Symposium of the Masonic Cancer Center will be held from 9–3:30 this Wednesday, May 18 at the Great Hall in Coffman Memorial Union. This annual symposium highlights the breadth of great work going on here at the cancer center, and this year is no exception. Neal Rosen from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center kicks things off with the keynote address, "Oncoprotein-feedback Inhibition of Signaling—Biologic and Therapeutic Implications", at 9:30, followed by a poster session and lunch. The afternoon session features researchers from Minnesota, including one by our medicinal chemistry colleague, Chengguo Xing, who will be presenting a talk entitled “An Anticancer Drug Candidate against Drug-resistant Leukemia and Its Potential Mechanism of Action.” You can view the entire agenda here.
