Cancer research advances highlighted at OSUCCC – James Annual Scientific Meeting
More than 560 guests registered for the OSUCCC – James 23rd Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) to hear speaker presentations and panel discussions, view 170 research posters, attend breakout sessions on cancer-related topics and potentially foster new research collaborations.
OSUCCC Director and ASM Host Raphael E. Pollock, MD, PhD, FACS, told the audience Ohio State has a cancer program everyone can be proud of, having competitively maintained its National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center since 1976, and having earned the NCI’s highest descriptor of “exceptional” in each of its last three formal reviews for five-year re-designation.
ASM guests also learned the results of an Art of Cancer Research competition, the winner of the inaugural CAMELOT Mentor of the Year Award (Dan Spakowicz, PhD, Division of Medical Oncology), and winners in an adjudicated research poster competition, including postdoctoral researcher Kate Ormiston, PhD, who won the 2022 Michael L. Hess Prize for Cancer Research Excellence for submitting the ASM’s top poster entry.
