Cancer Research 101

1 p.m. ET Monday, May 18

Cancer research can feel complex, but every breakthrough starts with seemingly simple questions: How do new ideas become studies? What happens before a discovery ever reaches patients? And why does the research process take time? In “Cancer Research 101,” Kelvin Lee, MD, director of the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, hosts a conversation about how cancer research moves from concept to care. Moderated by Rohan Maniar, MD, an oncologist and cancer researcher, this session walks through the full research journey — from early lab discoveries and clinical trials to new approaches that improve treatment and outcomes. This discussion pulls back the curtain on how cancer research works, why it matters, and how today’s questions shape tomorrow’s care. Whether you’re simply curious about cancer science or want a clearer picture of how research leads to real‑world treatments, this session offers a welcoming introduction to the process behind progress.
