This Monday and Tuesday, April 11 and 12, the UNC Lineberger Cancer Center is holding its 40th annual Scientific Symposium at the Friday Center, featuring more than a dozen speakers from around the country.
The free symposium is designed for graduate students, fellows, and researchers, but everyone’s invited – and organizers say there will be a lot of useful information even for members of the general public.

This year’s symposium is entitled “Molecularly Targeted Cancer Therapies from Bench to Bedside.” The discussion will center on RAS genes, a primary focus of current research: symposium co-organizer Dr. Al Baldwin says mutated RAS genes are a leading cause of many cancers, particularly pancreatic cancer.
Dr. Baldwin spoke with Aaron Keck on WCHL last week.
