As a student, she&rsquo;s been a leader who has contributed to student research forums in Australia, China and Japan.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">But Peters is originally from Geneva, Neb., and grew up on a farm outside nearby Milligan. And when it came time to work on her Ph.D. in cancer research, she chose the <\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/\"><u><font color=\"#0000ff\" face=\"Times New Roman\"><font color=\"#0000ff\" face=\"Times New Roman\">University of Nebraska Medical Center<\/font><\/font><\/u><\/a><font face=\"Times New Roman\">. She is a doctoral graduate student in the Cancer Research Graduate Program in the <\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/eppley\/\"><u><font color=\"#0000ff\" face=\"Times New Roman\"><font color=\"#0000ff\" face=\"Times New Roman\">Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases<\/font><\/font><\/u><\/a><font face=\"Times New Roman\"> at UNMC.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">Eppley&rsquo;s program is one of the few U.S. graduate programs in cancer research funded by the <\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nih.gov\/\"><u><font color=\"#0000ff\" face=\"Times New Roman\"><font color=\"#0000ff\" face=\"Times New Roman\">National Institutes of Health<\/font><\/font><\/u><\/a><font face=\"Times New Roman\"> (NIH). Peters noted that the program attracts promising future scientists, to train in cancer biology, to make cancer research their life&rsquo;s work. Among the best and the brightest, they come from all over the country. They come from all over the world.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">They come to Nebraska.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">And, as Peters shows, they come from Nebraska, too.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">When it came time to take a crucial step toward devoting her working life to cancer research, Peters chose UNMC. She did so because she&rsquo;s a Nebraskan. She did so because her dad had been in a farm accident and she wanted to stay close to home.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">And she did so because in 1989, her mother was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin&rsquo;s lymphoma. In 1990, Haley&rsquo;s mother underwent an autologous stem cell transplant at UNMC.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">&ldquo;This procedure that saved my mother&rsquo;s life, and the lives of so many others, was facilitated by scientists and physicians working together at UNMC,&rdquo; she said.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">On Feb. 2, Peters testified before the Nebraska Legislature&#039;s Appropriations Committee. She spoke in favor of LB 1089, which, as part of the <\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nebraska.edu\/media-resource-center\/features\/1796-building-a-healthier-nebraska.html\"><u><font color=\"#0000ff\" face=\"Times New Roman\"><font color=\"#0000ff\" face=\"Times New Roman\">&ldquo;Building a Healthier Nebraska&rdquo;<\/font><\/font><\/u><\/a><font face=\"Times New Roman\"> initiative, would support a cancer research tower at UNMC.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">Peters talked about the importance of collaboration among scientists, and what it would mean for all of the cancer students, scientists and clinicians on the UNMC campus to be working together in one place. She talked about how such a state-of-the-art facility would be a beacon in the research world.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">And she talked about her mom. <\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">A mom who lived to see her daughter&rsquo;s wedding. A mom who will be there, alive and well, when Peters graduates from the CRGP this spring.<\/font><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">A Nebraskan, in Nebraska, working with those who, like herself, want to be the best in the world.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<i><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"1\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"1\">Through world-class research and patient care, UNMC generates breakthroughs that make life better for people throughout Nebraska and beyond.
