The open house will be punctuated by a brief education forum with preeminent cancer researchers from the Stanford Cancer Institute (SCI) and members of the Menlo Park Labs biotechnology community. As a pioneering company in the Menlo business community, Tarlton is committed to raising awareness of the challenges, progress and successes in developing new cancer treatments and therapies and particularly through the ongoing research at SCI, which includes their exciting participation in the Cancer Moonshot initiative.
