Care a little about kids with cancer and a lot about ice skaters spinning in spandex? Come to this annual figure skating extravaganza put on by Eliot House students to raise dough for the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Carter Institute. The show is seriously star-studded: check out Oksana Bauil (1994 Olympic Gold Medalist) on Friday night only...
...analogy is pretty good. In our search box, you can upload a list of genes, and with one click, the analysis is computed,” said Justin Lamb, the lead author of the Science paper and a senior scientist in the Broad Institute’s Cancer program. “The philosophy is also very much the same as a search engine like Google. Our program is free, and it is a tool that can allow scientists to generate information cheaply and fast...
...finding suggests a new way to overcome drug resistance in cancer. A scientific team led by Scott A. Armstrong, assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical School and an investigator at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, identified the Food and Drug Administration-approved immunosuppressant drug, rapamycin, as a therapeutic candidate for overcoming drug resistance in a form of human leukemia...
...Connectivity Map marks another step in an ongoing boom in biomedical genetics research. Earlier this month, a team including Will Parsons, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University and the National Cancer Institute, sequenced the genetic code for human breast and colon cancers...
...Often medicines target particular genetic receptors, rather than giving us any idea about the background complexity of cancer,” Parsons said. “Computational advances in studying gene expression have really allowed us to scale things up and understand the pathways behind groups of genes with similar functions...
