Big Ten CRC celebrates five years

From a dream shared by a few cancer center directors to a robust collaboration among some of the nation's top academic institutions, the Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium has opened a new era in cancer research, where competitors on the field become partners in curing cancer. As the Big Ten CRC celebrates its fifth year, we asked some of our early leaders to share their thoughts on the consortium's founding, development, and success.
