CU Cancer Center to showcase research at Pueblo Community College
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The University of Colorado is bringing its medical 'Research Roadshow' to Pueblo on Friday, June 13. The free event will bring researchers to the community to educate people on cancer and healthy aging.
Jan Lowery, PhD, with the University of Colorado Cancer Center, joined FOX21 Morning News on Monday, June 2, to talk about who should consider attending and why this research is important.
Lowery said the purpose of the research roadshows is to connect researchers with the community. 'Researchers get to come and talk about the research that they're doing, engage the community members, and even potentially enroll people in their studies,' said Lowery. 'And community members get to come and learn about the research that we're doing, why it's important for them to participate, and have the opportunity to enroll in studies on the spot.'
During this roadshow, participants can learn about a research study looking into the impacts of heavy metals found in Pueblo, as well as another study looking at interventions for fatigue in cancer survivors.
The event is Friday, June 13, at Pueblo Community College from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Lowery said most of the studies are targeted for adults 50 and older, but all are welcome to attend. Preregistration is requested but not required.
