ACE seeks to advance our understanding of #cancer & its clinical management by developing & applying #evolutionary & #ecological models to #cancerbiology

One of our first @ace_arizona scholar students (and now soon to be brother in law😵‍💫) successfully defended his master’s thesis: Leveraging Comparative Phylogenetics for Evolutionary Medicine.

Mentoring students is such a privilege. We couldn’t be more proud! @ace_arizona

Cancer prevalence across vertebrate species decreases with gestation time, may increase with adult mass https://t.co/hY87Zm2mIi via @medical_xpress

[AACR @AACR]

The prevalence of cancer varies widely across vertebrate species, generally decreasing with gestation time and increasing with body mass, according to a study published in @CD_AACR. Learn more:

It is as Darwin said it would be: the more we look, the more we find the commonalities that bind us to so much of the life on this planet. The war on cancer isn't just decades old—it's millions of years old. Extremely thankful to have the team that we have @ace_arizona @UAZCancer https://t.co/mD58DEwEro

@walkermellon has published more peer reviewed research as an undergraduate than I did during my PhD. He has all the tools he needs to drive this program forward. Thrilling news from @ace_arizona

[Zach Compton @arizonaevo]

Attempting to curb therapeutic resistance is a relatively recent goal in cancer treatment. But it’s been imperative to Integrative Pest Management for decades. We explore the overlap here. Cool collaboration between @ace_arizona and @uarizona Ag science

Seems like yesterday @CristinaCBaciu and I were interviewing them to be @ace_arizona Scholar students! I’m thrilled to host @walkermellon and Bryan Yavari next week at @UAZCancer

[Zach Compton @arizonaevo]

2 years after formalizing the program and ~125 students later, @CristinaCBaciu and I are ready to introduce who will be taking over as the new Co-Directors of the ACE Scholars program. @GisselMrqzAlcrz @harleyrichker @ace_arizona 🧵

[Athena Aktipis @AthenaAktipis]

How is life history strategy related to cancer susceptibility? Check out the work of our @ace_arizona team and especially @amy_boddy https://t.co/sNCbCj8bOl

[Arizona Cancer Evolution Center @ace_arizona]

Meet @GisselMrqzAlcrz and her Microbiome team from the ACE Scholars Program @ASU, investigating the link between microbes and cancer. Their focus on cancer-protective microbes can potentially augment the effectiveness of existing cancer treatments.

What can psychology research teach us about the management and treatment of cancer? ACE Scholars Amanda Le, Bryan Yavari, Erica Williams, and Tea Zawilak present their findings at AZPURC tomorrow 4/14 @ASUPsych https://t.co/Ylwiwdwa49
