A dialogue on scientific discovery
with Dr. Andrea MARIANI Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Mayo Clinic and Dr. Pedro RAMIREZ, Professor and the Director of Minimally Invasive Surgical Research and Education in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center
Presented by Crossroads Cultural Center
When unexpected research findings challenged a longstanding approach to cervical cancer treatment, Dr. Pedro Ramirez embarked on a journey of self-discovery that is reshaping his personal trajectory, and changing the landscape of cancer research. What happens when something new and unforeseen enters the horizon of one’s experience? What is the driving force that allows one to take a risk, to follow a glimpse of evidence that may require a radical change of course? When the stakes are high, is it possible to love the truth more than oneself?The event is free and open to the public.
“Life is a hunger, thirst and passion for an ultimate object, which looms over the horizon, and yet always lies beyond. When this is recognized, man becomes a tireless searcher.” - Msgr. Luigi GiussaniAbout this Event
