CURE Shining Stars Seminars

CRCHD proudly celebrates the history of the Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) program. The CURE Shining Stars Seminars (SSS) recognize former CURE scholars who demonstrate notable success in securing subsequent research funding, conduct impactful research, and serve as a stellar example to current CURE scholars.  

For more than 25 years, the CURE program has supported more than 4,000 CURE students, trainees and early stage investigators. CRCHD is inspired by their competitiveness in obtaining research funding, their contributions to the field of cancer and cancer health disparities research, the remarkable vision and innovation in their work, and their continued commitment to the CURE program.

The CURE SSS is a sister series to the CURE Distinguished Scholars Seminars (DSS). To date, the CURE DSS has recognized 10 of our most accomplished former CURE scholars, mentors and champions, as well as their leading-edge research.
