I learned today that Atul Butte died yesterday. A pioneer in the fields of biomedical informatics, data science, RWE, and AI, he integrated and leveraged these fields to transform medical research and care. His enthusiasm was infectious and his optimism for moving discoveries to patients was reflected in the myriad biotech companies he founded. RIP Atul!

[Ellison Medical Institute @EMILosAngeles]

Last year, our @EITLosAngeles #InsightsForum brought together a panel of experts to explore AI’s potential to revolutionize cancer treatment, diagnosis, and prevention.

Join us for our Sept. Insights Forum as we revisit AI's role in cancer care one year later. Why isn't it delivering better patient diagnostics, treatments, and preventatives as expected? What’s holding it back, and how can we fix it?

Adam @adamhayden, I can’t think of anyone who has made us more aware of how desperately we need substantive progress against GBM; but also beautifully shows us all how to embrace and live your life. You inspire me and everyone you touch - big hug your way.

Allison and the assassin- cancer doesn’t stand a chance Quoting Allison, every cancer story counts”. The AACR Scientist-Survivor program learns from every story. Thanks to all our SSP alumni - an extraordinary force for cancer research!

[Allison Rosen, MS @ARosen380]

I finally got to meet the infamous @cancerassassin1 in person & thank him for all he does sharing information that patients will understand! We shared about how we both love the Scientist—>Survivor program & the amazing @AnnaBarker20 #AACRSSP #ASCO23 @ASCO @AACR

[Anna D. Barker, Ph.D @AnnaBarker20]

Congratulations 2023 #QBIO undergrads for their team’s work on TCGA data. The projects were interesting and hopefully inspire you to think about how genomic (“omes) changes drive lung, colon, ovarian, GBM cancers! Don’t stop - you can change the world!

[Jerry SH Lee @jleePSOC]

Congratulations to @qcb_usc #QBIO #multiomics UNDERGRADs for spending a semester learning how to use @theNCI #TCGA #CPTAC datasets. Thks Nicole for teaching next generation of #datascientists to innovate #forpatientbenefit as envisioned by @AnnaBarker20 and continues @ellisoninst

[Anna D. Barker, Ph.D @AnnaBarker20]

@tambreleighn These increasingly critical and dynamic partnerships between cancer patients and cancer researchers will one day achieve precision oncology for all - Thank -you for your service.
