Dr. Ron DePinho - Presidential Address

Yesterday, as I crossed the bayou after the presidential address, I spotted a whooping crane and was immediately caught in awe by his long shadow.   Dr. D reminded us we are 20,000 cancer fighting champions and 1,080 volunteers.  MD Anderson is the most impactful cancer institution in the world and knowledge and caring are our weapons of choice.   You could feel the pride when he told us “the patients and families we serve are our North Star in our fight to make cancer history”.  The whooper moved toward dinner and his shadow grew longer, just like MD Anderson’s reach across the world as our research innovations develop better treatments, protocols and interventions to eliminate cancer.  Watch our shadow grow!
