Karuna Ganesh, MD, PhD’s Post

Two days of productive discussions within Wp2 of #CCI4EU project. Looking forward to seeing the results and the next steps.

The Childhood Cancer Data Lab is one of many examples of how pioneering and strategic Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation is. What do you do when the data that could help childhood cancer fighters is siloed? Or when the researchers who are working with that data don’t have the data science skills to take it to the next level? The answer is the Data Lab, which promotes the free exchange of ground-breaking research and empowers front-line researchers to be more autonomous. You can help. Even small donations can unlock big opportunities.

Excited to share a major milestone! 🎉 I am honored to have my paper, "Empowering Hope: Advances in Breast Cancer Detection and Treatment," published in the International Journal of Science & Engineering Development Research. A big thank you to my co-authors Dr. P. Shailaja mam, M. Sri Chandana, and A. Rajeswari mam for their invaluable contributions. This journey has been both challenging and rewarding, and I am excited to continue contributing to advancements in this critical field. Check out the publication in Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2024 in IJSDR. #BreastCancerResearch #ScientificAchievement #ProudMoment #Research #Publication 

Great episode just out today talking about #CancerPrevention and the NCI's Cancer Prevention Fellowship. If you are curious about this impactful group of disciplines that aim to tackle cancer before it arises or recurs, take a listen!

"Progress is not found in heroic efforts.  It’s found in sustained commitment, and long-term thinking." Last week it was my honor and privilege to accept the Charles A. Sanders MD Partnership award on behalf of my family from Foundation for the National Institutes of Health for our efforts to support a dedicated kidney cancer research fellowship program at the The National Institutes of Health over the past 20 years. "We know with certainty that over the next 20 years – working together – and taking on bold questions, we will uncover many new and important discoveries with applicability for kidney cancer – and beyond." Thinking long-term is critically important to discovery and impact. https://lnkd.in/eTHvZf9m #OpenForBusiness #longtermthinking #cancerresearch #leadership

This week on A4LI’s Scientist Spotlight, we are joined by Dr. Anna Barkovskaya, a Staff Scientist at SENS Research Foundation. In this episode, we discuss how Anna was first introduced to the longevity field, and how she is applying her background in cancer research to study senescent cells.

❓ How can we shift from #OpenData to #DataOpen for processing? ❓ How will the #SciLake project making it easier to find data and assess research results? EOSC4Cancer Cancer Landscape Partners tackled these & other burning questions at their recent meeting 👉 http://emp.onl/HTtnd Learn more about BBMRI's involvement in EOSC4Cancer ▶ https://lnkd.in/dikFv3P7

I am so honored to have witnessed the amazing lifetime work of Dr. Steven Rosenberg from the NCI. Dr. Rosenberg has pioneered the development of effective immunotherapies for patients with advanced cancer. His studies of cell transfer immunotherapy using tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) have resulted in durable complete remissions in patients with advanced solid cancers. He has also pioneered the development of gene therapy and was the first to successfully insert foreign genes into humans. His recent studies of the adoptive transfer of genetically modified lymphocytes using chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) or conventional T-cell receptors (TCR) have resulted in the regression of metastatic cancer in patients with lymphomas and solid cancers. His current research is aimed at defining the host immune response of patients to their cancers. These studies emphasize the ability of human lymphocytes to recognize unique cancer antigens and the identification of anti-tumor T-cell receptors that can be exploited to develop new cell transfer immunotherapies. #IO #TIL #oncologyresearch #AACR2024 #NCI

The CHTN Midwestern Division will be presenting a poster titled, The Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN) Prospective Procurement Model for Basic and Translational Research at the 24th Annual Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital & Solove Research Institute Scientific Meeting being held at the Ohio Union on the Ohio State University campus today. https://ow.ly/fST750PVAf9 #cooperativehumantissuenetwork #biobanking #biorepository #basicandtranslationalresearch #biomedicalresearch #pathology #digitalpathology
