Answer for Cancer and Our All-Stars of Cancer Research
Each year, the V Foundation Wine Celebration hosts a Cancer Research Symposium, where world-class researchers present cutting-edge information to the general public.
Led by the V Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Committee, the symposium offers attendees the opportunity to connect with researchers from every cancer specificity, in a Q & A session that allows attendees to have their questions answered by the experts.
This committee is comprised of the nation’s top doctors and scientists. Many of the researchers who have been awarded grants in years past return to share their valuable findings.
