Next-Generation Approaches to Cancer Genomics: Precision Oncology

Join us for a talk with Dr. James Ford, is a medical oncologist and geneticist focused on understanding the genetic basis of cancer risk, development and treatment responses. He directs Stanford’s cancer genomics program and the Molecular Tumor Board that performs molecular profiling of metastatic cancers in order to identify novel, individualized, targeted therapies for cancer patients lacking additional standard therapies. He will discuss the challenges and potential promises of this new approach to cancer care. This program is sponsored by the Library's Biotechnology Learning Center.
