Looking forward to the largest scientific gathering on cancer research in the world AACR24 @AACR meeting in San Diego on April 5-10, 2024.

This should be a great meeting for learning, networking, & catching up with colleagues & friends from around the world. I'm also looking forward to our 33 presentations from #eldeirylab at #LegorretaCancerCenter & many others from @BrownUCancer (33 abstracts from the #eldeirylab is above average for us but a few less than career high of 43 at #AACR23)
