E. Donnall Thomas Lecture
Dr. Lee will chair the annual E. Donnall Thomas Lecture, named for the Hutch’s Nobel laureate Dr. Thomas, who would have turned 100 this year. This lectureship recognizes pioneering research achievements and is on Monday, Dec. 7, 1:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m.
Presidential Symposium
Dr. Lee will chair the discussion "Universal Donor Solutions in Hematology" on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 9:30 a.m. -11 a.m.
Dr. Kinsella, a researcher in the lab of Dr. Jarrod Dudakov, will present findings on a new way of thymus regeneration in which a cell death process called pyroptosis is critical in releasing large numbers of signaling molecules that can trigger the thymus to repair itself.
Monday, Dec. 7, 2:45 p.m.
Dr. Shadman will share early results from the ongoing trial taking place at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, the Hutch’s clinical-care partner.
