On Tuesday, Feb. 22, Fang Huang talked about his research.

On Tuesday, March 1, Peter Relich will lead a discussion of the paper DNA aptamer­-micelle as an efficient detection/delivery vehicle toward cancer cells
and if there's time, Kevin Cahill will lead a discussion about the papers The road to integrative cancer therapies: emergence of a tumor-associated fibroblast protease as a potential therapeutic target in cancer and Awakening Immunity.

The talk normally scheduled for Tuesday in room 1131 will be by Fang Huang at the annual meeting of the Biophysical Society in Baltimore.   See their program for time and place.
