Cancer Imaging Seminar Series

Introducing the Cancer Imaging Seminar Series

Winship Cancer Institute
5th Floor - Room 5012
Wednesdays, 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.

May 28 - Lecture has been CANCELLED

To better support cross-disciplinary collaborative advantages across Winship Cancer Institute, Radiology and Biomedical Engineering, Cancer Imaging Monthly Seminar Series was established by the Emory Molecular and Translational Imaging Center (EMTIC). First, it reflects Emory's expanded commitment to cancer imaging research and to its mission as one of the nation's strongest cancer imaging centers in the Southeast. Providing continued medical/radiological/preclinical/basic education for oncologists, radiologists and researchers from other disciplines throughout the health science centers, is heavily emphasized in education. Establishing a Cancer Imaging Seminar Series of this caliber will also help stimulate interdisciplinary activity. 

The series will provide a forum for preeminent investigators from across the nation to come and share their discoveries and challenges, clinical trials/patient management/preclinical research and will encourage Emory/Georgia Tech scientists to form collaborative groups and exchange ideas. Through a lecture series offered by EMTIC, each month will bring together investigators from the bench to the bedside who have common research interests, helping to facilitate preclinical/translational/clinical research. 

Topics range from molecular events in cancer to clinical imaging for a variety of tumors. To the scientific and medical community, research in Cancer Imaging represents a future of tumor detection before symptoms appear, therapeutic efficacy that is measured in hours instead of months and life-saving drugs tailored to a patien's genetic make-up. These talks will have a broad appeal that will draw audiences from a wide variety of disciplines.
