A study led by SCI member Eleni Linos finds that computer algorithms powered by artificial intelligence based on deep learning can help healthcare practitioners to diagnose skin cancers more accurately. stan.md/49F1OVX #SkinCancer #AIhealthCare
Thank you, Manali Patel MD, for advocating for cancer policy changes at the #ascoadvocacysummit on Capitol Hill: Increase National Cancer Institute funding, expand telehealth, and end #drugshortages .
SCI leader Mackall Lab & Children's Hospital identified a protein, #FOXO1 , that improves the survival and function of CAR-T cells, which may lead to more effective #CellTherapy and could potentially expand its use in difficult-to-treat cancers. stan.md/3VWviLX
SCI member Max Diehn is leading a team working to find cancer before a patient has signs they have it by taking samples of blood or urine. bit.ly/49EdaJK Max Diehn, MD/PhD #LiquidBiopsy #CancerScreening
Congratulations to Trisha Yearwood for receiving the inaugural #JuneCarterCashHumanitarianAward ! Your work with Stanford Women’s Cancer Center inspires us all. bit.ly/4auwvhL Trisha Yearwood CMT #CMTAwards #WomenCancers
SCI members @adamdelazerd, Yonatan Winetraub, Kavita Sarin, & others developed a new imaging method to create a cell-by-cell reconstruction of skin or other tissue without taking a biopsy. stan.md/3vNZSMY #VirtualBiopsy
The SAYAC program at Stanford provides vital support for the unique challenges faced by adolescent and young adult cancer patients. stan.md/43WvUTB #CancerAdvocate
We are excited to announce the new Stanford Cancer Institute website!
Our beautiful new site results from a partnership with the design and development experts at Technology & Design Solutions (TDS). Thanks to all involved! stan.md/4aIbdwX #StanfordCancer
SCI member Everett Moding & team used novel #MachineLearning tools to map cellular configurations in #SoftTissueSarcoma patients, aiding treatment decisions. stan.md/4an2gJA Everett Moding, MD, PhD
Cancer tumors use proteins to shield from the immune system. Immunotherapy turns off these “brakes” to attack cancer cells. CochranLab and others reveal LAG-3 protein structure, advancing treatment understanding. stanford.io/3TKCgAY Stanford Engineering #immunooncology
Thanks to the speakers & attendees for making the SCI Retreat a success! With > 300 participants, presenters shared the latest cancer research on #CancerEngineering & AI, #Genomics & Population Sciences, #CancerBiology & #Immunology , and #DrugDevelopment . #StanfordCancer
The Stanford Health Care Cancer Care Coach Program empowers patients to find their voice while navigating their cancer journey through #AdvancedCarePlanning . stan.md/3VA6rgx #CancerPatientAdvocate
SCI members Carolyn Bertozzi, Alice Ting & others developed a small, genetically encoded LYTAC that primary human #T -cells can secrete. Cells engineered to produce GELYTACs are an encouraging potential direction for #CancerTherapeutics . bit.ly/3VwEO86 @mackalllab
Amir Bahmani, Stanford Deep Data Research Center director, lost his wife Someyra due to undiagnosed cancer. He advocates for merging data science and medicine to enhance precision medicine, potentially saving lives like Someyra's. stan.md/3IKuEcu #PrecisionMedicine
Congratulations to the recipients of the ACS-SCI Institutional Research Grant. These grants aim to support new investigators, encourage collaborations, & foster relationships between #StanfordCancer & the American Cancer Society. stan.md/4cmV6X5 Steven Corsello Zinaida Good
SCI member Carolyn Bertozzi has created not just a new field of chemistry but also a new way to be a chemist. bit.ly/3Pt5xi5 Carolyn Bertozzi
SCI member Ravi Majeti & others showed that although #AcuteMyeloidLeukemia evolution is heterogeneous, mutations tend to occur in characteristic orders, both at the levels of the genes and the biological pathways involved. go.nature.com/3Tz5u6U #leukemogenesis
