The Cancer Cytogenomics Microarray Consortium (CCMC) was formed by a group of clinical cytogeneticists, molecular pathologists, and molecular geneticists who are interested in applying microarray technologies to cancer diagnosis and cancer research.
If you share our interests, we sincerely invite you to join us as part of the consortium. Please fill out this form, which will be submitted to Dr. Robert Best, or contact Dr. Best directly at best@sc.edu
Letter from the President
Dear members of the Cancer Cytogenomics Microarray Consortium (CCMC):
The Officers and Board of Directors of the CCMC would like to thank you for your continuous support to the CCMC and wish you a happy and successful year for 2012!
The Cancer Cytogenomics Microarray Consortium (CCMC) will hold its 3rd summer meeting on August 6 – 7, 2012 at the Hilton Rosemont Chicago-O’Hare Airport. The deadline for abstract submission is April 10, 2012. The new CCMC website www.cancergenomics.org will allow you to apply and renew membership online as well as register, submit abstract and hotel reservation for the upcoming meeting. The detailed information about the meeting program will follow shortly.
To maintain the ongoing activities of the CCMC and to better serve the CCMC members, the CCMC Board has decided to implement annual membership fees starting in 2012.
Membership in the CCMC is a privilege and requires support of the purposes and goals of the CCMC. Members of the CCMC are expected to be of good moral character and of high ethical and professional principles. There are three basic membership categories based on the following professional qualifications:
a) Doctoral Members shall possess a relevant doctoral degree and shall exhibit reasoned judgment in matters of central concern to the CCMC as determined by the Board of Directors.
b) Affiliate Members shall be individuals who do not possess a relevant doctoral degree but have an active interest in cancer cytogenomics and other issues of concern to the CCMC.
c) Student Members shall be individuals in a program of study expected to culminate in a doctoral degree that would qualify them as Doctoral Members.
“Founding” Members are those members qualified under Subsections (a), (b), or (c) above who were actively engaged in the CCMC on or before January 1, 2012.
Members of the CCMC shall be entitled to the following privileges:
- Doctoral Members of the CCMC shall be eligible for election to office, for election to the Board of Directors, and to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the members.
- All members of the CCMC shall be eligible to serve on committees, to attend meetings of members, and to be on the CCMC Listserv to receive information, notices, and other mailings from the CCMC.
- All members of the CCMC shall be eligible for a reduced registration fee for the CCMC annual meeting.
- All members of the CCMC shall receive a free online subscription to the journal Cancer Genetics.
The membership fees are $100.00 for doctoral and affiliated members and $50 for student members for the 2012 calendar year. The new CCMC website is currently under construction which will allow you to apply and renew membership online. (You may also download the membership application form online and pay your membership dues by mail.)
The board members of the CCMC encourage you to actively participate in CCMC activities and welcome your comments and suggestions to make the CCMC better and stronger.
With warmest regards,
Marilyn M. Li, M.D.
President of the Cancer Cytogenomics Microarray Consortium
