Good 2024 news: Google's AlphaFold (AI) project has mapped all 200m known proteins in the body. It used to take years to map out a single disease-causing protein mutation. Google has shared this data for free & over 2m research projects are already underway using it.

In spite of being the #1 #cancer killer of men & women (25% of all cancer deaths annually), #lungcancer only receives 9% of federal cancer research grants. Today we celebrate one of our leaders, @hilary-marie.bsky.social. Let's honor patients like Hilary with action: givebutter.com/nV0S6u

The past decade has been transformative for lung cancer..Yet the sobering reality is not all patients respond to these & we still need cures.

It's why Dr Liu believes we need research to pave the way to better lives and more tomorrows.
