Damon Runyon has awarded Quantitative Biology Fellowships to three outstanding young scientists applying computational approaches to persistent biological questions. Their projects will use machine learning, spatialomics, advanced network modeling, and other technologies to better understand breast cancer risk, improve response to immunotherapies, and identify new chromosomal drivers of cancer. Each postdoctoral scientist will receive independent funding ($240,000 total) to train under the joint mentorship of an established computational scientist and a cancer biologist.

The Trace Institute, a new non-profit research organization is launching today to pursue the most fundamental question in science: what is the true nature of reality? Their results may reboot society.

About The Study: In this randomized clinical trial, adding fovinaciclib to first-line aromatase inhibitor conferred significant and clinically meaningful progression-free survival benefit and consistent improvements in other efficacy outcomes, along with manageable safety and unaffected quality of life. 

About The Study: In this randomized clinical trial of patients with advanced cancer, an app-facilitated palliative care intervention helped maintain health-related quality of life and self-efficacy and reduced acute care use compared with usual care.
