Professor William Gallagher:

We sometimes show a video of President Biden. As has been mentioned, he is passionate because a family member - one of his children - died from cancer. Ultimately, we started with a vision. He had the vision to change how cancer research was being performed in the US by removing silos, ending faction fighting and working together. That is what the AICRI is about. Essentially, it is taking the genie out of the bottle through the concept of team-based work, which involves people working together towards a common problem. That is a nice concept but one has to focus on how it is implemented. That is what we have been focused on doing. We have been establishing what we need to do to address that and bring those individuals together. Much of it is about people and providing opportunities for advanced training, networking and some degree of infrastructure. We have shown momentum and made some good progress, but we still have a way to go.
