Dr. Aime Franco, an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, served as an invited faculty member at an American Association of Cancer Research workshop held in Boston last week for basic scientists pursuing training in order to transition into translational cancer research. Dr. Franco served on a panel discussion, “From Bench to Bedside: How to Translate Basic Science Study to the Clinic.” She also held “office hours” for participants, providing scientific and career development mentoring, and worked with small groups of trainees to help them design novel approaches for moving their basic science research to translational studies.
