Faculty and staff are invited to join their colleagues at the Research from all Angles program, with our topic area this year of CANCER. This year, as part of our Research from all Angles series, we highlight wide-ranging perspectives on cancer research, a timely topic as the Lynch Cancer Research Center launches a major growth initiative. Faculty speakers from across the university will provide brief comments designed to stimulate conversation.
