An acclaimed ASU professor who is a nationally recognized cancer researcher has been awarded a grant to attend one of the world’s most important events in the field of immunology to present a scholarly paper, which will help advance cancer research.
Dr. Manoj Mishra, associate professor of biology and director of the ASU Cancer Biology Research and Training Program, has been awarded a grant by the American Association of Immunologists (AAI) to attend the International Congress of Immunology (ICI) in August, which will be held in Melbourne, Australia. Mishra will present a scholarly research abstract on a cancer related research topic during the event.
Mishra said being able to attend and give a presentation at the ICI will continue to help put ASU on the global map in the area of cancer research.
“This is a great opportunity to showcase cancer research done at ASU and present it to a global audience,” Mishra said.
The ICI will provide an environment for researchers to share new findings, report clinical advances, explore new career opportunities and establish collaborations. It also will provide a venue to host public lectures and engage with the media to report new scientific advances.
