SUMMARY:Science and Society | Immunotherapy: Unleashing Your Body’s Immune System to Fight Cancer
DESCRIPTION:Online\n\n\nThe tools for fighting various forms of cancers\, 
 until recently\, have not changed much since the development of 
 chemotherapy and radiation therapies decades ago. However\, in the past 
 decade immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of some forms of 
 cancer by unleashing the human body’s own defense systems to fight cancer 
 cells. Dr. Donald Lawrence was on the forefront of this development during 
 the clinical trial stages of using immunotherapy for melanoma\, a once 
 almost uncurable form of skin cancer. Dr. Lawrence will describe this new 
 form of treatment\, how it works in the body\, its role in cancer treatment 
 today and what the future holds for the use of immunotherapy in many 
 different cancers of the body.\n\nDr. Donald Lawrence’s research focuses 
 on the development of novel therapies for melanoma. He leads numerous 
 melanoma clinical trials within the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. He 
 is the principal investigator of two National Cancer Institute-funded\, 
 multicenter clinical trials evaluating targeted cancers selected by 
 prospective genotypic analysis. He is a lecturer at Harvard Medical 
 School\, and the Clinical Director of the Center for Melanoma at 
 Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center.\n\nThis talk is part of the 
 Science and Society lecture series co-organized and moderated by Fred 
 Dylla\, Executive Director Emeritus of the American Institute of Physics 
 and author of Scientific Journeys\, Linda Dylla\, former public information 
 officer at the Jefferson Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy\, and 
 Colin Norman\, the former News Editor at Science.\n\nNOTE: this meeting is
