The committee includes our Oncological Sciences Center director, Marietta Harrison; the four scientific program leaders, Don Bergstrom, Richard Gibbs, Cynthia Stauffacher, and Elizabeth Taparowsky; ad hoc member Doug Cuttell; and program co-leaders, Alex Wei, Debbie Knapp, Dave Thompson and Dave Riese.
