Masonic Cancer Center Science Council

In 2009, the Masonic Cancer Center Science Council was created to plan and discuss the overall direction of laboratory-based science. This committee was formed to carefully consider basic research strengths and opportunities, identify our unmet technical needs, direct clinical translation of basic research discoveries, and develop ways to promote effective interprogrammatic collaboration.
