Case Western Reserve, Cleveland Clinic Launch New Era of Health Education with Samson Pavilion Dedication
|
The Samson Pavilion at the Health Education Campus |
This Wednesday, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic launched a new era of health education, dedicating the centerpiece of the new campus, the Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion.
"The dedication of the Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion demonstrates the extraordinary value that the spirit of philanthropy brings to new generations of students. The Health Education Campus will have a major impact on advancing medical education and patient care," said Tom Mihaljevic, MD, Cleveland Clinic chief executive officer and president. "Its unique curricula and design will inspire health care professionals to be members of interdisciplinary teams and promote lifelong learning."
This spring, the four-story, 477,000-square-foot building opens to 2,200 students from Case Western Reserve's dental, nursing, and medical schools, including those from Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. Students from the university's social work school also will come to the Samson Pavilion for shared coursework, but will continue to take the majority of their classes in their own newly renovated building on Case Western Reserve's main campus.

Cancer Center Seminar Series: "Targeting SHP2 for Cancer Therapy"
Apr 12, 12p | WRB Auditorium
Join us today at noon in the Wolstein Research
Building Auditorium to hear National Institutes of Health (NIH) Distinguished Investigator
Benjamin G. Neel, MD, PhD present, "Targeting SHP2 for Cancer Therapy" Dr. Neel is
Director of the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center,
NYU Langone Medical Center and p
rofessor, department of medicine at
New York University School of Medicine.
Dr. Neel's laboratory has a longstanding interest in signaling pathways regulating cell proliferation/
differentiation and their derangement in human disease, especially cancer. His group focuses on
signaling involving tyrosine phosphorylation, particularly by protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs),
several of which his group discovered, including PTP1B, SHP1 and SHP2. He has also made significant
contributions to the understanding of the RAS/ERK pathway and its role in developmental diseases
termed RASopathies. More recently, his group has extended their interests to include the integrative
functional genomics of breast cancer and the cell of origin and nature of tumor-initiating cells in
high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
The Seminar Series
will
be
available to view via live stream. While we highly encourage you to attend in person to interact with our speakers and receive CME credit, we understand that may not always be possible. Presentations will not be recorded for later viewing, but you may watch the seminar in real time and ask questions via chat.
Watch live at noon>

May 12, 2019 | Legacy Village
The
Race is a 5K and one mile walk/run charity event
that empowers children and their families to make a difference in the lives of those touched by breast cancer by raising awareness and money for innovative breast cancer research. The Race has been held each Mother's Day for the past fifteen years, attracting approximately 1,500 people last year. To date, The Race, with help from friends, business associates and corporate sponsors, has raised over $1,250,000 for the fight against breast cancer. Proceeds from this year's event benefit the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Asking These Questions About Your Cancer Risks Could Help Save Your Life MSN - Feb 8, 2019 "If you have a first-degree relative with cancer, then the first screening colonoscopy should be at age 40 or 10 years younger than the youngest person affected with colon cancer in the family," says Smitha Krishnamurthi, MD, Cleveland Clinic oncologist and member of the Case CCC's Developmental Therapeutics Program.
What We Do Oncology Times - Apr 5, 2019 "Your job as a leader of a cancer center is always to remember what it is that you do and what your cancer center does," says Brian Bolwell, MD, FACP, Deputy Director for Cleveland Clinic for the Case CCC in his latest contribution to Oncology Times.
