Leading cancer researchers Drs. Susan Horwitz of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, whose research led the discovery of Taxol, and Susan Mooberry of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio discuss their quest for treatments for breast cancer. Natural products continue to provide effective new leads for many types of cancer including breast cancer. Through collaborations with medicinal chemists and evaluation of extract libraries from the National Cancer Institute from plant collections across the world, Drs. Horwitz and Mooberry search for natural products and their analogs to ultimately identify new drugs.

Free and open to the public. Registration required. Reception at 6 p.m. Lecture begins at 7 p.m
