NIH-funded research fuels economic activity, supports jobs, and saves lives. At PICR, that support has a decades-long history of powering discoveries that laid the foundation for some of today's cancer treatments — and it's helping pave the way for tomorrow's breakthroughs.

🚨 NEW RESEARCH BLOG POST: The anti-cancer IMmunoActive complex (IMAX) shrinks tumors, but they sometimes regrow after the initial response. Additional doses might be the answer. Yoon Yeo's team has found that two doses of IMAX lead to complete regression in half of the tumors

Excited to share my first co-authored nature paper! In this study, we used our tools, DiffModeler and DAQ, to guide the modeling of GPCR-arrestin complexes from cryo-EM data. Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158… Tools: em.kiharalab.org
