Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch Distinguished Lecture Series

Each year the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch (OEEB) Distinguished Lecturer Series brings prominent scientists to DCEG to discuss research on occupational and environmental causes of cancer. The objectives of the series are to expand and intensify contacts between DCEG investigators and outside experts, provide an opportunity for junior staff to meet with distinguished scientists, and highlight research opportunities in occupational and environmental cancer. Speakers give a DCEG-wide seminar and participate in discussions of scientific issues in smaller more informal discussions.
