Spotlighting AORTIC at ASCO

Grateful for the incredible experience at the AORTIC-ASCO 2024 Networking Reception! Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Miriam Mutebi, MD,MSc,FACS, Dr. Abiola Ibraheem, and their colleague’s team for organizing this important meeting.

The gathering showcased the capacity, strength, and innovation, in the African cancer space, particularly in research and clinical trials. There is significant progress in the collective goal of eliminating global cancer disparity.

Much remarkable work is coming from the African Cancer Research Group for Oncology- a partnership between the University of Ife and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, led by Prof Alatise and Peter Kingham. This collaboration has given many early researchers a platform and funding to thrive.
