Historically, there has been a strong connection between art and medicine. COLLAGE has initiated an ‘Art and Medicine’ lecture series. The goal of this program is to explore these connections and to provide a context for a dynamic and synergistic exchange of ideas.

To further expand upon this idea, COLLAGE plans to host panel discussions to provide forums for thought leaders across disciplines to share their expertise, and to devise innovative solutions for problems facing the global cancer community.
