The ASH/ASCO Joint Symposium will review some of the best science from the 2011 ASCO Annual Meeting, and the presentations will be delivered by the investigators who contributed to these clinical research successes. Attendees who want an overview of the latest clinical oncology research to complement the research presented at the ASH annual meeting will find this session of value.

ASH/EHA Joint Symposium

December 11, 2011  12:30 PM-1:30 PM
San Diego Convention Center  (Hall AB)

Vaccines are one of the great triumphs of medical science and public health. However, at least five million to 10 million deaths per year could be prevented if vaccines were available for infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and other neglected tropical diseases. The powerful new tools of post-genomic science, combined with new approaches to vaccine research and organizing science on a global scale, offer great promise for the future of both vaccine development and global health.
