The CSVCC is a convergent approach to cancer research that combines advances from diverse scientific disciplines to improve outcomes for patients.

Thrilled to feature Scholar, Dr. Nilay Sethi, on his new work shows how reprogramming tumors, forcing them to “grow up,” could transform colorectal cancer treatment. #ColorectalCancer #CancerResearch 🔗 blog.dana-farber.org/insight/2025/1…


Thrilled to highlight Dr. Kun-Hsing Yu whose team helped develop the groundbreaking “CHIEF” AI model — trained on 15 million pathology images across 19 cancer types. #Cancerdetection #AIinMedicine #Pathology Read more here: managedhealthcareexecutive.com/view/ai-turns-…

A great collaboration with my friend @JunQiLab. We screened a small molecule library targeting epigenetic regulators curated by Jun’s team using our dual reporter system. The ensuing mechanistic work required innovative chemical and rigorous molecular biology.

Proof-of-concept: Epigenetic reprogramming could one day be a new therapeutic path in colorectal cancer. @Nilay_Sethi explains how histone acetylation shapes CRC cell fate in this @AGA_Gastro study: bit.ly/46gS7z1

Happy to share our work out at @jclinicalinvest We identified a new tumor-macrophage interaction contributing to GBM progression/immunosuppression and found that targeting the symbiosis sensitizes GBM to immunotherapy. Huge thanks to editors and reviewers. jci.org/articles/view/…
