Transgender Visibility: Meet MSK Cancer Research Staffer Cassidy Cobbs

Cassidy Cobbs is many things: a valued colleague who works at the Sloan Kettering Institute; a doting parent to a pit bull named Mando; a beloved sibling; and a passionate baseball fan, who memorized the stats of former player, Ryne Sandberg, at the age of 5. What Cassidy is not is someone who identifies as either a man or a woman.

MSK Scientists Identify Potential New Strategy Against Metastasis

A team of scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute has identified the STING cellular signaling pathway as a key player in keeping dormant cancer cells from progressing into aggressive tumors months, or even years, after they’ve escaped from a primary tumor.
