The Emperor of all Maladies
Book Description
My thesis adviser gave a book to each graduating Ph.D. I am carrying on this tradition with this book about the struggles of cancer patients and cancer therapy development. My lab studies cancer therapy resistance and is developing new cancer therapies. As we work in our labs, it’s important to remember this disease has a significant impact on many lives. As well, I’m now a cancer survivor, so this book has special meaning to me as both a researcher and a survivor.
