“One Health” concept of using the same treatments to heal both animals and humans is attributed to Shalihotra who is thought to have lived in the Indian city of Sravasti around 235 B.C. Crest: Features an elephant, recognizing Shalihotra’s treatment of horses and elephants with war injuries. Motto: Primum Nil Nocere — First, do no harm.

With that, I would like to introduce Dr. Mike Kastan. Dr. Kastan is a pediatric oncologist, and world-renowned cancer biologist. He is also the executive director of the Duke Cancer Institute. A few years ago, Dr. Kastan met with Dean Lunn. Together, they began planning for a partnership that we now call the C3O. The goal was to facilitate collaboration between researchers at Duke and NC State, who are studying naturally occurring cancers in humans and companion animals, in ways that leverage resources and benefit both species. Dr. Kastan is an incredible advocate for the growing field of comparative oncology, and I’m excited to have him here with us today. Thank you, Dr. Kastan, for agreeing to come speak today.
