We are the MeDOC Consortium! A collective of scientists collaborating to further our knowledge of mechanisms that link obesity, metabolic dysregulation, and cancer. @theNCI
Thanks to all those that came out for the MeDOC Consortium Meeting in Iowa!! Huge shout out to @uihealthcare for hosting such an informative and engaging!! Check out some moments from the meeting. #medoc
Did you know metabolic issues linked to obesity can raise cancer risk? 🎗️The NCI/NIH Consortia Initiative MeDOC, is bringing together experts across disciplines to tackle this head-on. Learn more at today's NCI-Sponsored session from 10:15-11:15 PST at #AACR26.
Be sure to checkout the MeDOC Consortium's poster at #AACR this afternoon (4/21 2-5pm PST)! The poster will be set up in Section 4, Board 26
