DF/HCC CURE Program Celebrates Thirteen Years of Success

October 2014 | eNewsThis year, 32 Scholars participated in the NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) program, a hands-on research training experience for high school and college students from underrepresented populations. In addition to performing research and presenting their work at the end of each summer, CURE Scholars attend scientific seminars, professional development workshops, and networking events. DF/HCC members volunteer annually as mentors in the program, assigning CURE Scholars to a specific project each summer.  Mentors will be recognized for their work and dedication to CURE at the second annual appreciation event on November 4, 2014. For more information, contact Latishya Steele, Training Coordinator, DF/HCC.  Many thanks to all of our DF/HCC mentors and Scientific Advisors who make our training efforts possible:  Gustavo Abdala GehlingOmoz AisikuBerktal AktasTenley ArcherMohammed Ariful IslamPinar AvciChristian BadrJingwei ChengLeo ChengKaren CichowskiLorna CryanJames DeCaprioElizabeth DevoreAlan EngelmanJing FanOmid FarokhzadRobert FlaumenhaftMichele GaddIrene GhobrialAlexandra Golby          Michael HamblinRobert HandinDavid HillShu-Ching HuangPhillip HuberKellie Ann JuradoYoun-Jung KangKutay KaratepeLatrice LandryLing LinHongbo LuoLaura MacconaillClare MaloneKeisha McCallMaribel MelendezManan NayakWilfred NgwaSelen PekerJessica Pierre-FrancoisShiv Pillai          &...
