Meet Whitney Petrie, PhD, CPIA, RLATG, who'll be covering the 2021 IACUC Virtual Conference (IACUC21) as a member of the Blog Squad: "Please list your family's cancer history".

I learned from a very young age how devastating cancer can be, but I also learned that I wanted to be involved in oncology, just not as a doctor.

This session helped give me a greater appreciation of everything that I do in my role. Read more
