A friend was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Stand up 2 Cancer is a “pop” research funding enterprise (is it cool to be a scientist yet?) – Link: WELCOME TO SUTV | SU2C. Dream team? Sure sounds like they are having fun.

Also noteworthy is the CPRIT, recently approved by the Texas Legislature ($3 billion over the next 10 years). This will be huge for Texas in developing a cure for cancer and expanding our biotech and life sciences industry. The Chief Scientific Officer is former University of Texas Southwestern Medical School dean and nobel laurete (2004) Alfred G. Gilman, MD, PhD.
