A multi-institutional effort led by MSK’s Charles Sawyers is seeking to interpret information about the genetic causes of cancer.

… Tuesday, January 5, 2016 Summary Advances in gene sequencing methods have revolutionized our genetic understanding of cancer. But they’ve also led to such large quantities of data that scientists are struggling to analyze it all. Now a multicenter project aims to find better ways to interpret this abundance

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing CAR T cells created using CRISPR gene-editing technology.

… Wednesday, March 8, 2023 CAR T cell therapy , often referred to as a “living drug,” has successfully treated blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma . The approach, which was pioneered at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), involves equipping a person’s own immune cells (called T cells)

Cancer cells have a sneaky ability to hide out in the body for years at a time. MSK scientists are looking for ways to flush them out.

… Thursday, March 24, 2016 Summary Even after successful treatment, cancer can sometimes come back years later and spread to different organs. This is called latent metastasis. A new study by MSK scientists sheds light on how cancer cells hide out and remain undetected by our immune system, opening up

Scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute are learning how far-flung regions of genes connect to start the process of making proteins.

… Monday, September 21, 2020 Summary Through powerful high-resolution microscopy and precise biochemical methods, researchers at the Sloan Kettering Institute have seen for the first time how proteins and DNA come together to commence the transcription of genes — the first step in making proteins. A common
