Chung and Dr Haiyen E. Zhau will each be presenting a special seminar at the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation in Queensland.

Dr Leland W. K. Chung is a Professor of Medicine and Surgery, Director of the Uro-Oncology Research Program, and a Board of Governors Cancer Chain at the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer
Institute at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre. His research focuses on tumour-stroma interaction with the goals of defining the biology, imaging, and targeting of tumour microenvironment.

Dr Haiyen E. Zhau’s research team pioneered the documentation of marked interracial differences in prostate cancer incidences among U.S white, U.S black, Japanese, and Chinese men. She has long been

involved in translational research in urologic cancers, and was the first to identify c-erb B2 neu oncogene expression in human bladder and prostate tumours.
