4:00 p.m.	Reception   The Jeffrey M. Trent Lecture in Cancer Research Dr. Trent was the National Human Genome Research Institute's (NHGRI) founding Scientific Director, serving in this role for more than nine years. His leadership and vision was instrumental in establishing NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research as one of the premier research programs in the world devoted to genetics and genomics. In recognition of his significant contributions to the research environment at NIH, NHGRI established the annual Jeffrey M. Trent Lecture in Cancer Research. This lecture is given by a prominent cancer researcher who brings the kind of energy, creativity and enthusiasm to cancer research that Dr. Trent has exemplified throughout his career. Previous Jeffrey M. Trent Lecturers Janet D. Rowley, M.D., 2003 Lee Hartwell, Ph.D., 2004 Harold Varmus, M.D., 2005 Michael Stratton, Ph.D., 2006
