Multi-Program Events
Intra- and inter-programmatic activities, lectures and symposia, external collaborations, and program development.
C3 Pancreatic Cancer Research Group
Monthly
The C3 PCRG meets to stimulate team science and translational research collaborations focused on pancreatic cancer. The goals are to aligned basic and clinician researchers, accelerate research and translation across the institutions, facilitate sharing of resources such as mouse models, cell lines, and tool compounds, enable large grant proposals and industrial collaborations, and attract new investigators into the field of pancreatic cancer research.

The San Diego Center for Precision Immunotherapy
Bi-monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of the month
In collaboration with LJI, the San Diego Center for Precision Immunotherapy (SDCPI) was formally recognized and established as an academic center at UC San Diego. SDCPI is co-directed by Ezra Cohen (STT) and Stephen Schoenberger (STT) of LJI. The center aims to accelerate and translate scientific advances in immunology and to develop and implement novel personalized cancer immunotherapies for patients.

C3 Retreat (UCSD, Salk, Sanford Burnham Prebys Cancer Centers) Pedal the Cause Funded Collaborative Pilot Projects
Annually in August, date TBD, Salk Institute
The mission of C3 is to leverage the collaborative opportunities offered by the existence of one of the only 46 NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers (MCC) and two of the only 7 NCI-designated basic research cancer centers (Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute) in the same city. Consistent with this mission, C3's primary function is to provide an ongoing forum for advancing cancer prevention and control, screening and therapy vis enhancing the interactions and collaborations among the three NCI-designated Cancer Centers in San Diego, as well as promoting interactions with other public and private sector organizations in San Diego.
