Dr. Daniel Saltzman, parent of Sami '16, is a internationally recognized Pediatric Surgeon and Cancer Researcher. A native of the Panama Canal Zone where his father worked on the Panama Canal and his mother ran a small business in Panama City, Dr. Saltzman obtained his B.S., M.D., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota. In addition to an active clinical practice at UMN's Amplatz Children's Hospital, the Saltzman Research Lab is considered a world leader in the use of bacteria to deliver immunomodulatory cytokines directly to cancers, without the toxicity of chemotherapy. His TEDx talk, "Project Stealth," will discuss the progress and the promise of this up-and-coming cancer treatment.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
