NCI Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics shared a post on LinkedIn:

“We had a blast at the 2024 NCI Principal Investigators Retreat, which gathered principal investigators from DCEG and the NCI Center for Cancer Research, the two intramural divisions of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The retreat was held at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, on October 15, 2024.

Our division director, Stephen Chanock MD, opened the meeting with an overview of DCEG. Meredith Shiels, Mitchell Machiela, and Rena Jones presented on their research, while many others in DCEG presented posters.

Dr. Julie E. Buring, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and senior epidemiologist at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health received the 21st Annual NCI Rosalind E. Franklin Award. She gave a truly engaging talk entitled “Large Primary Prevention Trials of Cancer in Women: One Investigator’s Perspective.”

The retreat concluded with the conferral of the annual Women Scientist Advisors Mentoring Award which was given to Sharon Savage, MD Savage for her commitment to mentoring women scientists in many career paths, supporting and modeling of work/life balance, and identifying and encouraging opportunities for advancement and training.
