Join us for the 2024 UACC Annual Scientific Retreat on Friday, Nov. 15, at the Health Sciences Innovation Building in the HSIB Forum, or main atrium. This daylong conference aims to inform, engage, and create opportunities to collaborate with other researchers and scientists in our common goal of curing cancer.

We are excited to announce our new keynote speaker*, Amelie Ramirez, DrPH, MPH, an internationally recognized health disparities researcher. Dr. Ramirez is professor and chair of the Department of Population Health Sciences and director of the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio as well as associate director of cancer outreach and engagement at the Mays Cancer Center, also known as the UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center.
