Representative Rosa DeLauro, a survivor of ovarian cancer, raised critical questions at the House Labor, Health and Human Services committee meeting around a critical translational research program.
During her questions, Rep. DeLauro identified the critical role of organ site-specific translational research which is occurring in NCI’s Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) programs. The SPORE programs offer a unique opportunity for “team science” that includes basic scientists with clinical researchers, and moves treatments from the laboratory to people.
C3 thanks Representative DeLauro for her leadership!
