Breast Cancer – Cancer Center Open House

Stimulating the immune system to attack breast cancer. Overcoming drug resistance. Controlling cancer metabolism. Reducing disparities in outcomes. Meet the scientists tackling these issues and learn about their recent exciting discoveries. Ask a doctor about current treatment options and get an insider’s view on what’s coming in the future.

The open house

This is a unique opportunity to:

• Meet and share experiences with other people affected by cancer.
• Learn how breast cancer starts and how cancer cells can become resistant to treatment.
• Learn about some of the most promising approaches for new treatments.
• See state-of-the-art drug screening robots.
• Talk directly with survivors and a clinician. 

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 campus in Chairmen’s Hall, Building 5, followed by tours and a reception.

Guests will have the opportunity to mingle with cancer scientists, survivors, 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 cancer research.
