Top cancer researchers gather in Houston

The staff of M.D. Anderson continues the struggle against cancer, now with some help from across the pond:

Researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Imperial College London met here today to launch a joint initiative aimed at advancing scientific discovery of novel cancer therapies. The agreement builds upon professional relationships between clinicians and researchers at both institutions and represents another step forward in the global fight to eradicate cancer. The collaboration agreement calls for the establishment of a research program focused on identifying new molecular targets for cancer diagnosis and treatments that the two institutions will carry out over the next few years.

Jolly good, y'all.
