In 1959, a scientist scrutinizing a single human cell under a microscope detected a missing piece of DNA. Jessica Wapner's The Philadelphia Chromosome (Experiment) charts that landmark discovery and the sequence of scientific and medical discoveries that brought about the first-ever successful treatment of a lethal cancer at the genetic level. Wapner will be joined in discussion by Knight Cancer Institute Director Dr. Brian Druker. This event is sponsored by the Knight Cancer Institute at OHSU.
