The Fishman Fund Awards are given to exceptional postdoctoral scholars to support their research and help them develop into scientific leaders. Join us as we present our awards to this year’s remarkable recipients.
Help us celebrate these bright researchers, whose work to discover treatments and cures will benefit patients globally.
Meet the scientists working to better understand the science behind addiction and the relation to cancer. A physician-scientist will share some insights on developing novel or improved treatments for cancer-causing tobacco and alcohol use disorders.
The open house
This is a unique opportunity to:
Meet and share experiences with other people affected by addiction.
Learn about some of the most promising approaches for new treatments.
Your hosts
This open house is hosted by the Cancer Center’s Community Advisory Board. Its members strive to bridge the gap between biomedical science and the people who need it most: patients and the families and friends who love and support them.
The event takes place on Sanford Burnham Prebys’ campus in Chairmen’s Hall, Building 5.
Guests will have the opportunity to mingle with scientists and addiction and research advocates during an informal evening reception featuring healthy nibbles and refreshing drinks. Guided tours will be offered throughout the event, giving attendees a behind-the-scenes look into our scientists’ varied approaches to addiction research.
