Welcome to the
AWIS Nevada Chapter
The mission of the AWIS Nevada Chapter is to create a broad interdisciplinary welcoming environment to advance the careers of women in science and technology and promote the participation of girls in the sciences.
​
AWIS Chapters extend the reach and effectiveness of our collective advocacy efforts on behalf of women in STEM. Chapters are robust, multidisciplinary communities that bring together stakeholders from a wide range of employment sectors, scientific disciplines, and career stages. Their activities can vary greatly based on the leadership and community they serve.
By joining a Chapter, members have opportunities to advance their careers through professional development, mentoring, information sharing, outreach and professional networking in formal and informal social settings.​

Solid tumors are particularly difficult to kill. They create an environment around them that favors growth yet shelters them from a variety of treatments. These "cold" tumors are resistant to the patient's immune system.
Current research is investigating ways to crack through this barricade, making the tumor "hot", to allow for more effective treatments.
