Journal Club Update: Dr. Grann Speaks this Friday


For this Friday (10/17):
Instead of presenting the article on disparities in online cancer support groups, Dr. VICTOR R. GRANN, MD (Professor of Epidemiology and Health Policy and Management at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, Professor of Medicine at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, Director of Research Recruitment and Minority Outreach of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center) has agreed to come and talk about his research about disparities in cancer and treatment.

Dr. Grann was recently featured on Columbia's homepage for a study he conducted which found a strong association between the prevalance of Low White Blood Count and Women of African Descent -- "Strong Association Found Between Prevalence of Low White Blood Count and Women of African Descent" (see story link at http://www.mailmanschool.org/news/display.asp?id=676)

The location for the presentation by Dr. Grann is in Russel Library, Room 306 at Teacher's College (behind Pupin across the street).
Meeting starts at 1PM that Friday.
