Basic science is difficult

5 Clinical problems are puzzling

6 Can RCC identify the key pieces and put these together?

“We cannot be a strong nation unless we are a healthy nation. And so we must recruit not only men and materials but also knowledge and science in the service of national strength. That is what we are doing here.” President Franklin D. Roosevelt Dedication of NIH Bethesda campus October 31, 1940

10 Down the road our patients will find:

11 Down the road our patients will find: a team of doctors, nurses, and health professionals motivated to expand their knowledge and improving their skills

12 Down the road our patients will find: faculty and staff who are leaders in their fields

13 Down the road our patients will find: an environment where questioning and collaboration with other experts is valued – 10 heads are better than one

14 Down the road our patients will find: leading specialists in all cancers, from the more common to the rare

15 Down the road our patients will find: development of the latest protocols and standards known as evidence-based medicine

16 Down the road our patients will find: availability of a broad-range of innovative therapies and sophisticated technology through clinical trials

17 Clinical research is an act of balance

18 ”Work hard Keep balance in your life”

The gap between clinical research and basic research

20 ”Above all, don’t fear difficult moments The best comes from them”

Discovering the rich scientific opportunities in multidiciplinary collaboration and at interdisciplinary boundaries
