Dr. Eric Tran and his incredible team are pioneering breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy - a "global first" in tumor reduction efforts. The work being done uses an infusion of 16 billion reprogrammed T-cells to target cancerous cells and remove them from the body. It shows that our immune system is capable of curing advanced cancer. While cancer is formidable, so are we. You will find this talk both inspiring and enlightening, as we embolden our efforts to eradicate this disease.
Eric was part of a historic 7,000+ attendee Year 10 experience. After three reschedules due to the Pandemic, our Core Organizing Team persevered through 1,164 days of planning and execution to produce the event for Portland, OR.
