The Southeast Nebraska Cancer Center (SNCC) is comprised of a group of oncologists, health care professionals and informatics personnel who support translational research in conjunction with a desire to offer the best survival opportunities to patients now and in the future. As an affiliate member of the National Functional Genomics Center (NFGC), SNCC will provide clinical support for validation of molecular signatures and will serve as the first clinical facility test site to provide patients for trials and to establish a research protocol for distance access to the NFGC. SNCC will begin this work upon receipt of its first year of funding which will be distributed in 2006.On April 21 and 22, 2006 they hosted a gala dinner and scientific symposium to celebrate the Lincoln, Nebraska medical community's new association with the National Functional Genomics Center.
