Join Us for the Merkel Cell Carcinoma Collaborative (MC3) Institute Launch Events!
November 24, 2024
The Nghiem Lab is thrilled to announce the formation of the Merkel Cell Carcinoma Collaborative (MC3) – a dedicated Institute advancing research and improving patient care for Merkel cell carcinoma. The mission of MC3 is ‘collaborate to cure Merkel cell carcinoma.’
As part of this exciting transition, some research and resources from the Nghiem Lab will be incorporated into the MC3 Institute, expanding our capabilities. However, the Nghiem Lab will continue its work as a distinct entity, maintaining its ongoing research projects.
We invite you to join us for a launch event to connect with the Merkel cell carcinoma community and learn about opportunities to get involved. Information about MC3, including our new website, will be shared at these events.
