During President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address earlier this year, he put Vice President Joe Biden in charge of what’s being called a Cancer Moonshot Initiative. It is intended to put maximum focus, effort and funding toward finding a cure for cancer.
On Wednesday in Washington, D.C., the Vice President hosted a Cancer Moonshot Summit. In connection with that, the University of Arizona’s Cancer Center hosted a related event.
Dr. Peter Lance is deputy director of the U of A’s Cancer Center in Phoenix.
