Dr. Luque represented MUSC Public Health and Hollings Cancer Center with poster presentations at national professional meetings. Atlanta was chilly and Denver was snowy, but it was great to catch up with friends and colleagues at the meetings. He gave important updates at the SMA board meeting about the more than 40 SMA panel sessions for the SfAA meetings in Vancouver, CA (March 29-April 2, 2016). Also, he found out from Chad Morris that the book chapter is coming out. See citations below…
