Along with defending against pathogens, the body’s innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways — ways that have important implications for the development of cancer, researchers at MSK are discovering.

MSK is proud to return as a participant in the 4th Annual Black Health Matters Virtual Summit. Black Health Matters Virtual Summit will provide attendees a chance to interact with physicians, scientists, and advocates, including former First Lady, Michelle Obama, to address equity in all areas of health.

MSK is a founding member of the Cancer AI Alliance (CAIA), an exciting collaborative research initiative designed to accelerate development and deployment of AI models to improve cancer care. This unique alliance unites four leading NCI-designated cancer centers — MSK, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Fred Hutch Cancer Center, and The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center and Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins — with technology powerhouses that include Ai2, Amazon, Deloitte, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Slalom.

Learn how MSK experts are improving the detection and treatment of lung cancer, from fundamental questions of the disease biology to new screening and therapy options.

May is Clinical Trials Awareness Month, culminating on May 20 with International Clinical Trials Day. For institutions like ours, this is an opportunity to commemorate the importance of clinical research and the valued contributions of clinical research professionals around the world.

MSK research provides a clearer understanding of glioblastoma heterogeneity to aid development of new therapies; sheds light on mechanisms of cellular plasticity; presents a new imaging technique that could improve the diagnosis of brain diseases by revealing how different parts of the brain are metabolizing nutrients; describes a new method to aid the study of rare but influential cell populations; and identifies a potential treatment for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors.

Hedvig Hricak, Chair of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Department of Radiology and incumbent of the Carroll and Milton Petrie Chair, has been named the 95th President of the Radiological Society of North America Board of Directors.
