CONGRATS 👏
Purdue Institute for Cancer Research member Shalini Low-Nam has secured a $2.1 million, five-year R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate the molecular mechanisms controlling CAR T-cell activation.

The competitively awarded funding will support research that could help scientists develop safer and more effective cancer immunotherapies. https://purdue.link/car-t-research-low-nam

Shawna Klahn and Nikolaos Dervisis study and pioneer protocols for tumor ablation, a less invasive way of treating cancer that can be more effective than surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Their research benefits dogs and humans alike, improving care and outcomes for cancer patients.

Klahn and Dervisis are associate professors of comparative oncology at Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital and members of the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research. https://purdue.link/klahn-dervisis-canine-cancer-ablation

Graduate student Addison Young will present research today at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center Research Retreat exploring a potential vulnerability in triple-negative breast cancer.

Working in the lab of Purdue Institute for Cancer Research (PICR) member Kyle Cottrell, Young is exploring whether disrupting PACT dimerization could reduce cancer cell viability — and point toward a potential therapeutic strategy.

Young's work reflects the vital role emerging scientists play in advancing cancer research and underscores why preparing the next generation of cancer researchers is central to the PICR's mission.

Congratulations to Young on the opportunity to share this work with the broader cancer research community!

So many of us have breast cancer stories. 💕

A friend diagnosed far too young. An aunt who rang the bell after her last treatment. A grandmother who didn't get the chance.

Over the past few decades, research has changed what diagnosis means for millions — and the next round of progress is being built in labs right now, including at the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research.

Research is the reason more of our stories end with survival. With more time spent with loved ones. With better time spent together.

Never lose sight of the long game.
But celebrate every win along the way.

It's as true in the fight against cancer as it is on the field at Ross-Ade.

We have a lot to cheer about tonight. 🏈

During tonight's Hammer Down Cancer game, the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research presented the Joe Tiller Chapter of the National Football Foundation with an honorary game ball.

Since 2021, the chapter's annual golf outing has raised nearly $55,000 for the Tyler Trent Endowment, helping carry forward Tyler's legacy through cancer research at Purdue.

PICR Director Andrew Mesecar joined chapter Executive Director Travis Baugh and Awards and Fundraising Coordinator Jim Vruggink on the field for the presentation.

We're grateful to the Joe Tiller Chapter and everyone whose generosity has made the support possible.

Boiler Up. Hammer Down Cancer!
