I am raising money for The Leukemia
& Lymphoma Society as a participant in their Team In Training
program. I have participated in the Disney Triathlon in honor of
my late neighbor Jesse Michota. With
your donation you will not only be supporting me in my race, but
you will also be actively helping in the race for a cure for leukemia,
lymphoma and myeloma. But more importantly, your donation brings
hope to the patients and families who are on the front lines of
the battle against these diseases. To donate online quickly and
securely, please click on the above link. You will receive a confirmation
by email of your donation and I will be notified as soon as you
make your donation. On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society,
thank you very much for your support. I really appreciate your generosity!
Or you can mail a donation made payable to The Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society to me (my address is listed on the website).
Congratulations
to Harold H. Bien and his advisor, Emilia Entcheva. Their
review article on imaging will be featured in the December issue
of Biophotonics International. The editors picked it out of the
ocean of imaging publications. The

SPONSORED EVENTS:
MSTP Fellows organize, although not every
year, a one-day research symposium open to all wishing to attend.
It focuses on a topic chosen by the students and involved distinguished
speakers invited from around the world. Recent speakers included
Nobel Laureates, members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences
and many others, including several members of the SUSB community.
All MSTP Fellows are invited to lunch and dinner with the speakers.
The MSTP encourages and supports Fellows to attend the annual Clinical
Research meeting.
