Behind the Scenes with Cancer's Biographer
Oncologist and acclaimed author Siddhartha Mukherjee takes us on a journey through the long and complex history of cancer, and discusses what it took to bring his Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer, to life.

Mukherjee spoke at the Academy on April 14, 2011 as part of the Science & the City speakers series. The event was co-sponsored by the Farber Center for Radiation Oncology.
