Why I Love ACS
Although my scientific intrigue and experiences have covered a spectrum of therapeutic areas, I started my career in cancer research because of how it has impacted my family. Research is essential as we strive to end cancer as we know it, for everyone, and I am pleased to play an integral role in funding the best science!”
