October is Breast Cancer Awareness
Month, and the UCF College of Medicine invites university alums, supporters and
the public to the latest MedTalk on October 17 devoted to finding a cure for a
disease that impacts one in eight women. MedTalk is designed to share College
of Medicine experts and research in a casual meeting place with plain language
and a comfortable atmosphere for everyone. October’s
MedTalk features College of Medicine cancer researcher Dr. Annette Khaled who
will talk about “Tackling Breast Cancer” at the City Arts Factory, 29 S. Orange Avenue,
Orlando, FL 32801. Join us for good food, cold drinks and great conversation
from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Space is limited and is on a first come first served basis.
Appetizers and drinks will be provided while supplies last. Dr. Khaled’s
research is focused on ways to kill metastatic – or spreading – cancers, which
are the cause of death for most cancer patients. Her work has earned national
recognition and grant funding, including support by the Auto Nation Cure Bowl,
which will be played in Orlando on December 19. Proceeds from the game will
support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
