EPIC Center data meetings provide an opportunity for EPIC faculty, junior investigators, and
graduate students working on EPIC research to present a paper in progress to the entire
research team. These meetings foster Center collaboration across projects and encourage
production of project-generated presentations and publications for submission to
academic conferences and peer-reviewed journals.
The Data Meetings will resume again in the fall semester of 2008. The 2007-2008 Data Meetings featured the following speakers:

The purpose of the annual Speaker Series is to bring nationally recognized
scholars, including leaders in the Cancer Communication field, to the EPIC
Center. This series serves to engage outside investigators and create new
opportunities for collaboration with scholars from other universities as

As part of the monthly CECCR Speaker Series, the EPIC CECCR hosts informal research/career development
talks with visiting speakers. This series provides an opportunity for post-doctoral fellows, graduate
students and young investigators to learn about the research interests and career development of visiting
scholars from a variety of disciplines. The goal of these discussions is to provide useful insight into
research and career development from varying perspectives.

The cancer seminar series is led by Dr. Stacy Gray, post-doctoral fellow
with the EPIC Center, and Dr. Sandy Schwartz, co-director of the EPIC
Training Core. This series was created to provide post-doctoral fellows,
students and faculty at the EPIC with some basic training in cancer biology
and epidemiology. This seminar series provides those predominately trained
in social science with a scientific and clinical background to both help
them better frame their research questions and facilitate their
multi-disciplinary interactions with clinicians, biomedical researchers
and clinical investigators. The cancer seminar series covers such topics as
cancer biology, cancer epidemiology, genetic risk, diagnostic and treatment
modalities and overviews of some of the more common cancers.
