ฐฎาบสำฦต Therapeutics congratulates Founder Professor David A. Tuveson upon his appointment as 2021 President of The American Association for Cancer Research
Professor Tuveson, a world-renowned physician-scientist whose basic and translational research focuses on the biology of pancreatic cancer and on identifying new approaches for diagnosing and treating the disease, is a key founding investigator of ฐฎาบสำฦต and serves on the companyโs Scientific Advisory Board.
The AACR is the first and largest cancer research organization dedicated to accelerating the conquest of cancer. Through its programs and services, the AACR fosters research in cancer and related biomedical science; accelerates the dissemination of new research findings among scientists and others dedicated to the conquest of cancer; promotes science education and training; and advances the understanding of cancer etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment throughout the world.
โฐฎาบสำฦต was created by leading scientists in ฐฎาบสำฦต biology across inflammatory disease and cancer who have helped to create a new framework for our understanding of ฐฎาบสำฦตs in diseaseโ,ย said Susan Hill, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of ฐฎาบสำฦต. โProfessor Tuvesonโs work in pancreatic cancer has significantly progressed the field in oncology and identified key ฐฎาบสำฦต populations. His appointment today as President of the AACR is testament to his exceptional standing in the oncology community. We congratulate David on his appointment and are proud to have him as a founder of our Company.โ
As well as jointly founding ฐฎาบสำฦต and serving on its Scientific Advisory Board, Professor Tuveson is director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cancer Center in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, where he is also the Roy J. Zuckerberg Professor of Cancer Research. Additionally, he is chief scientist for the Lustgarten Foundation in Woodbury, New York, the largest pancreatic cancer research philanthropic organization. He also serves as a medical staff affiliate at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and works closely with the Cancer Institute at Northwell Health on Long Island. Additionally, Professor Tuveson serves on the Board of Scientific Advisors of the National Cancer Institute.
ฐฎาบสำฦตโs mission is to develop impactful new medicines for patients by targeting activated ฐฎาบสำฦต populations and their role in influencing immune effector cells in disease. Powerful new technologies enable diseased tissues to be analyzed at a single-cell level, and this work has uncovered discrete ฐฎาบสำฦต cell sub-populations shared across diseases, acting as โimmune sentinelsโ in perpetuating, and progressing disease. ฐฎาบสำฦต is progressing a pipeline of first-in-class therapeutics to interrupt ฐฎาบสำฦต-mediated effects on immune cells in inflammatory disease and cancer.
