Peter Westcott honored to recieve the 2024 AACR Gertrude B. Elion Cancer Research Award
Peter Westcott shared a post on X by AACR adding:
“Incredibly honored and humbled to receive this award, thank you AACR and GSKUS! The generous 1-year term is unique and could not have come at a better time, now we dive deeply into the spatial biology of malignant progression of CRC, in rare human samples and new mouse models!”
Quoting AACR’s post below:
“Congratulations to Peter Westcott, PhD, recipient of the 2024 AACR Gertrude B. Elion Cancer Research Award. His project aims to profile the kinetics and spatial biology of benign-to-malignant transition to capture the stepwise progression and immune interactions of CRC.”
