To take a leading role in conquering cancers in our time.

Research and Education Advisory Council

The Council was established in 1980 to provide guidance from the medical, corporate, and private sectors of our community. Without exception, the council members — who volunteer their help — have been valuable team players, and their willingness to provide energy and guidance to the Johnson Cancer Research Center is greatly appreciated by all of the faculty scientists, staff, and students affiliated with the center.
