“A goosebumps moment and an example of what an amazing place Gustave Roussy Cancer Center is.

After my keynote lecture, this phenomenal person walks up to me… ‘Dr. Subbiah – great talk etc ……. you mentioned BRAF as tissue agnostic target….’ Wait for it …‼️
‘by the way – my name is Alain Eychene – I cloned the BRAF gene in 1980’s’ – wow.”
