"It is critically important that we raise our voices in support of innovative cancer science and medicine." @AACRPres Patricia M. LoRusso, DO, PhD (hc), FAACR, calls on the #AACR25 delegates to stand together and call on Congress to make cancer research a national priority.

Fantastic science at #AACR25 today! So inspiring to see @CancerGrand Challenges like extrachromosomal DNAs #ecDNAs 🧬⭕ (team eDyNAmiC!) and transposable elements 🦘🧬 (key for the Dark Proteome!) highlighted in the 🎓educational sessions. Really cool science being discussed 🔬!

Thank you to @decarvalho_lab and @SajidMarhon for their leadership on this study, and all team members who made this study possible! This study represents an exciting new direction towards understanding how dsRNAs promote tumorigenesis. We're excited to expand further!

Consider applying to the Gilead Research Scholars program if you are a junior faculty member looking for funding for research in solid tumors! It is a fabulous way to fund all types of oncology research (translational, basic, outcomes-based, etc).
