This evening's pair of LECTURES WILL OFFER PERSPECTIVE ON THE
LANDSCAPE OF SCIENCE POLICY FROM OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF ACADEMIA. Join
us for one or both of the seminars and stay for dinner in between!
_Please DO register so that we have an idea of how much food to
order._

University of Cincinnati with Joanna Groden, Dr. Goss started her
independent research program at the University of Cincinnati and then
moved her laboratory to the University of CHICAGO in 2007. The major
focus of her work has been the molecular events responsible for breast
and colorectal tumor initiation and progression, with a particular
emphasis on the _APC _tumor suppressor gene and Wnt signal
transduction pathway. Her work has been supported by grants from the
