UI Professor Victor Valli holds a jar containing animal organs with tumors in the postmortem room at the UI Vet Med Basic Sciences Building in Urbana on Tuesday July 31, 2007. Valli has assmbled tissue samples from cases around the country as part of an effort to better classify animal cancers and improve treatment methods.
Ted Valli has some big plans for his guests: 13 days of looking at slides – and not from his vacation.
Thin slices of cancer tumors from dogs will be on display for experts from around the country and Canada, who are to be at the University of Illinois from Aug. 11 to 24.
