"Moving Molecules to Man"
by Robert Gould, Ph.D (Novel Therapeutics)



How do scientists make new drugs? How does the process work and how do universities, companies and the government interact along the way? Will the deeper knowledge of human genetics change how drugs are discovered? Robert Gould will discuss the steps from understanding the biology of a potential drug to gaining approval to sell it, and how the process might be different in the future. 		Details

"The Achilles' Heels of Cancer"
by Bill Hahn, MD, PhD



By accumulating changes in their DNA, cancer cells are able to grow without restraint and are often able to outsmart treatments. Yet hidden behind this apparent resilience are critical genetic weaknesses. Bill Hahn will describe how researchers are applying genomic tools to search for these "Achilles' Heels" of cancer cells, with the hope of finding new ways to diagnose and treat different types of cancers.
