Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS) Retreat 2008

At this year's MIPS retreat on October 8th, approximately 116 people gathered at the Fogarty Winery in Woodside, California, located on Skyline Drive. One of the retreat highlights was the "Words of Wisdom" session, in which faculty shared some of the lessons they have learned along their career paths. Chris Contag, PhD, introduced the key speaker, Stanford Professor of Chemistry Paul Wender, who is also a professor (by courtesy) of chemical and systems biology as well as a member of the Bio-X Program and the Cancer Center. Dr. Wender's address was entitled "The Molecular Revolution and Our Molecular Future." Opening and closing remarks for the one-day retreat were delivered by Sanjiv Sam Gambhir, MD, PhD, professor of radiology and bioengineering, director of the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford, and chief of the Nuclear Medicine Division.

Other highlights included a special presentation on the new departmental section, ISIS (Information Sciences in Imaging at Stanford), by Sylvia Plevritis, PhD; a roundtable discussion; wine tasting; and a prize drawing.
