Challenges and Perspective from Genetics to fight Cancer

Harvard Club of Italy meets Carlo M. Croce, top Italian scientist 

I am happy and proud to announce that Professor Carlo Maria Croce has agreed to meet with the Harvard Club of Italy throughout his next week two-days visit to Rome. I am very thankful to him for his short-notice availability and I suggest not to miss out such a unique opportunity. It will be a terrific occasion to hear from such a qualified researcher where science stands today against cancer and how the study of genetics has helped humans into exploring the most hidden mysteries of our health system.

When:        Thursday, May 28, 2015 – from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm
What:         Challenges and Perspective from Genetics to fight Cancer
Where:       Rome, Palazzo Mattei di Giove, Via M. Caetani no. 32

Carlo M. Croce is well known and recognized throughout the world. For the ones who are not familiar with science and molecular genetics / oncology in particular, you shall know that Prof. Croce is the Director of Human Cancer Genetics Program at The Ohio State University (Columbus, OH) and, at the same University, as well the Professor and Chairman of the Department of Molecular Virology, Immunology and Medical Genetics. Also, he is Professor of Medical Oncology at the University of Ferrara, Italy.

Professor Croce ranks as "the" top Italian scientist worldwide with a H Index as high as 186. No further introduction needed, I guess … (source: http://www.topitalianscientists.org/Top_italian_scientists_VIA-Academy.aspx).
