Visit to the City of Hope on Nov. 18, 2006

Dear PUAASC Members:

 

PUAASC, CAST-LA, and CESASC are co-organizing the following visit to the City of Hope on Nov. 18, 2006.

 

The Betty and Irwin Helford Clinical Research Hospital at City of Hope, which opened in 2005, began a new chapter in City of Hope's mission of bringing cures to people battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. It features state-of-art technology such as robotic surgical instruments. It is one of the nation's premier centers for pioneering biomedical research. It provides graduate school biological sciences and summer student programs.

 

In this walking and tram riding tour, Dr. Shiuan Chen (http://www.cityofhope.org/Researchers/ChenShiuan/), Director and Professor of Department of Surgical Research at City of Hope, will guide us to tour the beautiful campus and modern facilities. We will also have a chance to hear him and other researchers to talk about some pioneer research fronts. Please RSVP to info@pku.org by Nov. 12 and also fill out the survey so that we can arrange the event targeting to your particular interests.
