Lurie Cancer Center Members
Membership in the Lurie Cancer Center is based on the investigator's cancer research focus and scholarly activity. A program assignment recommendation is made by the Executive Committee with final approval issued by the cancer center's director. Full members are assigned to a program in the Basic Science Research Division, the Clinical Science Research Division or the Cancer Prevention & Control Research Division. All members are welcome and encouraged to participate in any educational activities initiated by the Lurie Cancer Center.
