Ovarian Conference Midwest Focus
The Center for Cancer Biology Research is dedicated to creating a collaborative and nurturing atmosphere for its pioneering cancer research labs. The researchers are committed to alleviating the substantial impact of cancer in South Dakota and the broader Upper Midwest region by converting fundamental findings into clinical trials for patients with cancer. This work is supported by the NIH grant NIGMS CoBRE P20GM103548. This year's annual event will be held in coordination with the Ovarian Cancer Midwest Focus Conference started at the University of Minnesota.
The Ovarian Cancer Midwest Focus (OCMF) Conference is now in its sixth year, and it serves as a powerful example of how collaboration across different fields can make a difference in the fight against ovarian cancer. Starting at the University of Minnesota, this annual event has become an essential gathering for experts, advocates, and those impacted by cancer, bringing together voices from various disciplines.
With a focus on excellence, the OCMF Conference has consistently expanded its influence. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach has become a driving force for advancing research, promoting collaboration, and raising awareness of ovarian cancer in the Midwest and beyond. As it reaches its sixth year, the conference remains dedicated to improving outcomes for cancer patients through education, research, and community engagement. By embracing diverse perspectives and expertise, the OCMF Conference continues to push for progress in the fight against this challenging disease.
