$3.35M Going to Cancer Research at Dartmouth-Hitchcock – Associated Press

Read article - Quotes Steven Leach, the Preston T. and Virginia R. Kelsey Professor and director of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC), in an article about three new gifts totaling $3.35 million that will go toward cancer immunotherapy research and teaching at NCCC. The three gifts were made by Paul Guyre, emeritus professor of microbiology and immunology; Bob Barber, whose wife, Esther, was treated at the center; and Justin Gmelich and Victoria Hall Gmelich '91. "These drugs take the brakes off the immune system and allow it to recognize, treat and cure a cancer, just as it would an infection," says Leach.
