Cancer in the Crosshairs: New directions in cancer research at UC Santa Cruz

Featuring short presentations by UC Santa Cruz professors Olena Vaske and Michael Stone and undergraduate student Sachin Parecadan, all of whom are supported by the Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group.

The Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group has partnered with UC Santa Cruz since 2005, aiming to generate ground-breaking scientific discoveries that could lead to the development of innovative cancer treatments. Pilot projects funded by SCCBG grants have enabled UC Santa Cruz faculty to get preliminary results, accelerating their work to scientific publications, larger grants from other funding agencies, and in some cases, breakthroughs in treatment of cancer. Read about how UC Santa Cruz has cancer in the crosshairs.

Create Corridors with Santa Cruz Puma Project

Join the Santa Cruz Puma Project at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center to see how they track the movements of mountain lions within the coastal zone. Learn how housing developments and roads sometimes cut through puma habitat, causing it to shrink. Discover how tracking data is used to develop safe wildlife crossing zones between the shrinking habitats to conserve pumas.
