Before coming to NIH, Collins identified the gene that is mutated in cystic fibrosis (CF). Years later, this discovery led to the development of an innovative therapy for CF that's saved countless children.

This is why we fight.

One of my patients with
#DMG is rocking their junior year of HS, taking 2 AP classes despite daily radiation and other therapy. #herokid I told them to challenge me with a question from AP BIO at our next visit and they wrote me a quiz!
Wanna try too? @hopkinspress.bsky.social

This is so important to think about with #childhoodcancer too, especially around the #Holidays! Thinking about and praying for all families affected by #cancer especially kids spending holidays in the hospital. ❤️🙏🏻
The time burden for cancer treatment is burdensome #lcsm
One of the forgotten costs of cancer therapy is time spent in the clinic. Report on time toxicity in JCO Oncology Practice on pts with lung cancer showed 22% of days alive had in person visits: 24% with chemotherapy, 21% for immunotherapy, 16% for targeted therapy. #LCSM

Inspired by the other amazing starter packs - here's one for cancer researchers!

I tried to make this broad - from immunology to genomics to cell biology and so much more..

This list also includes organizations & institutes supporting cancer researchers 🧪🔬⚕️🩺

Hope its useful!
