+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FROM THE PUBLISHER +++ +++ G G REETINGS! WELCOME TO the October/November 2011 issue of MD News. Whether you are reading this publication online or in print, thank you for joining us. The following is an excerpt from this issues' cover story: "Dr. Robl has spent his entire career laying the groundwork so that, one day, cloning technologies, such as cell-based therapeutics and reprogrammed cells, can be used to cure diseases and heal once-irreparable injuries. The companies Dr. Robl founded are now working on next-generation advancements in genetic engineering." James Robl, Ph.D., will speak about advances in genetic engineering November 17 at 7 p.m. at the Heimerman Science Center at Newman University in Wichita. His story and more is found within these pages. Additionally, this month we provide an inside look at the new Via Christi Cancer Institute. The new facility, which spans the north side of the seventh fl oor of Via Christi Hospital on St. Francis and encompasses 40,700 square feet, incorporates a warm palette, nature-inspired décor and residential design elements to create a stress-reducing environment.
