From Research to Treatment: Cancer Research

How does scientific research turn into cancer treatments? Who is doing the research and who is funding the research? What areas of cancer research are being funded and why? What is the government’s role in funding research and directing research policy and how does that impact the development of new treatments for cancer? Join Dr. William Dahut, the Chief Scientific Officer of the American Cancer Society, and Steve Curtis, the Interim Managing Director of BrightEdge, the venture capital arm of the American Cancer Society, as they walk us through the research ecosystem
