The 10th Annual Agi Hirshberg Symposium will be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Pancreatic Association in Miami from October 30—November 2, 2013. The program will highlight a decade of achievements of the Hirshberg Foundation Seed Grant Program. All former Seed Grant awardees, both nationally and internationally, will be invited to participate. This group of physicians and scientists have contributed significantly to our current knowledge and advancement in the mechanism of pancreatic cancer development to early diagnosis, surgical and chemotherapeutic management and psychosocial and prevention strategy of this disease. The Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board is very pleased and proud of the achievements of the program to date. We look forward to this national celebration and congratulate the Hirshberg Foundation for the success of their research Seed Grant Program.
