I’ve been one of those fortunate trainees to call Danny my mentor! He has given so much to the MRS and to the metastasis field at large. Nice interview thread!

[Metastasis Research Society @MetastasisRS]

1/ Meet the presidents! Danny Welch is a Professor at the @UnivOfKansas Cancer Center who served as the president of @MetastasisRS from 2008-2010. We interviewed Dr. Welch about his research and involvement with the society.

The @JAXCancerCenter & @AmericanCancer teamed up to provide hands-on training to ACS-funded fellows!

➡️ Through advanced cancer courses at @jacksonlab, these talented trainees deepened their understanding of cutting-edge #CancerResearch techniques: https://t.co/ekDJsh5uyL

Dr. David Baker received an American Cancer Society grant in the mid-1990s. We are ecstatic to have 3 former ACS grantees win the Nobel prize this year! This is a testament to the strength of our scientific review process to bring real innovation to research! Congratulations, Dr. Baker!

[Douglas Hurst, Ph.D. @drhursty]

Love that we could partner with @JAX_Education to send @AmericanCancer fellows and post-bacs to NIH/NCI-funded cancer training workshops at Jax!

The importance of funding basic science research conducted by young investigators cannot be overstated. This is a unique strength of the @AmericanCancer funding portfolio

[American Cancer Society @AmericanCancer]

The American Cancer Society funded several grants to Dr. Ambros between 1980-1990 as well as a faculty research award grant to Dr. Ruvkun from 1991-1995. Much of this funded work was a precursor to Victor Ambros’ and Gary Ruvkun’s seminal discovery. We’re ecstatic to see them recognized for this honor!

#AspenCancerConference is a unique meeting with the most brilliant minds. Happy @AmericanCancer continues to support & participate, discovering new targets for cancer risk reduction @@ACS_Research @billdahutmd @CMAnnunziata @drhursty

[KeriG @Kdeneanz]

Great fireside chat @billdahutmd & @NCIDirector Cancer research saves lives.  @AmericanCancer is proud to champion research with our partners at NCI and the scientific community. It’s so important to fund research!! @ACS_Research

[KeriG @Kdeneanz]

Thanks #Discovery Leaders/Scientific Directors for the guidance & mentorship you shared with our the Post-Baccalaureate Fellows Thanks @daniels_elvan & team for hosting a great annual mtg. @AmericanCancer Center for Diversity in Cancer Research Training!
