Scientist Luke Hoeppner, PhD, Receives $50K Award From The American Cancer Society

"Standard therapy for SCLC patients has not substantially improved since the introduction of chemotherapeutic agents over 30 years ago because oncogenic drivers remain poorly understood.

New strategies to treat small cell lung cancer are urgently needed.”
