Science Can’t Wait: A Discovery Series – Registration
Science Can’t Wait: A Discovery Series with the Salk Institute
Join the Salk Institute and the Del Mar Foundation for Science Can’t Wait, a three-part webinar series exploring breakthroughs in brain health, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, agricultural solutions, and more. Each session offers exclusive access to Salk scientists whose work is shaping the future of human health and our planet.
Webinar Series Part 3: Turning the Immune System Against Breast Cancer
Date: Wednesday, May 13
Time: 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET
Where: Zoom. Link will be provided upon registration.
We invite you to join us for the final installment of the series, “Turning the Immune System Against Breast Cancer,” a live conversation exploring how the immune system can be harnessed to find and disable breast cancer cells, with the goal of developing treatments that provide long-lasting protection against the disease.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Daniel Hollern, PhD, Assistant Professor
Dr. Hollern merges two disciplines—computational biology and cancer immunology—to identify where tumors are vulnerable and how they can be therapeutically controlled by the immune system. His goal is to uncover how part of the immune system (called B cells) operates. He wants to translate these findings into strategies that use B cells to disarm tumor cells and provide long-term protection against cancer.
Double Your Impact
For the first time, the Del Mar Foundation is partnering with the Salk Institute to offer a Challenge Match through June. When you give during the webinar series, your contribution will be matched 1:1, instantly doubling your support for groundbreaking research that directly affects our community and the world.
And if you make a gift of $1,000 or more to an area of greatest need, you will automatically join the Discovery Society, Salk’s donor recognition circle. Members enjoy meaningful connection with Salk scientists, exclusive invitations to events, early access to major faculty news, and more.
