“Great strategic research planning session with scientific and clinical leaders at Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University. There is something magical and that is great to see when a senior leadership group works intensively together for many months to shape a future vision at a place like Brown University.
It takes a special group to work cohesively together across disciplines with a common mission and vision. Honored to facilitate the pursuit of research excellence to serve our communities in Rhode Island and beyond. Research and innovation bring hope for better days with less burden from cancer here and elsewhere.”
