CURE Distinguished Scholars Seminar: Structure, Trust and Science Thursday, October 14, 2021, 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. ET  The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) is pleased to invite you to join the upcoming Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Distinguished Scholars Seminar. The next lecture in the CURE DSS Series will be presented by VCU Massey Cancer Center Director Robert A. Winn, MD, who is the second-ever African American Director of an NCI-Designated Cancer Center. A former CURE K22 and R21 scholar, Dr. Winn became Director of the VCU Massey Cancer Center in December 2019. In addition to directing 205 research members from 39 departments in nine colleges and schools at VCU, Dr. Winn manages a research lab and is a pulmonologist, actively treating veterans each week at the nearby Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center. His current research centers on the translational aspects of the role that proliferation pathways and cellular senescence play in lung cancer. Dr. Winn brings a focus on cancer disparities, equity and community to his research and his Cancer Center leadership. He has published more than 75 authored or co-authored manuscripts in peer-reviewed academic journals. The CURE Program supports individuals from underrepresented groups across the academic continuum—beginning with middle school students and continuing through independent cancer researchers—through a pipeline of research funding opportunities. Learn more about CURE. For more information about this seminar, please contact Victoria Coan.
