Inside This Issue

What do thumbprints, matchmaking, thread, dominoes, flowers & tricycles have in common? Through a series of creative metaphors,  the NYU Cancer Institute 2010/2011 Report illustrates how our collaborative research programs are unified in support of a common goal: eliminating the burden of cancer.  In addition to highlighting some of the peer-reviewed publications of our expert physician scientists, the report outlines six stories of discovery including:

• Thumbprints: The microbiome’s role in the development of certain cancers
• Matchmaking: A searchable chemical biology network designed to support the drug development process
• Thread: New insights into how epigenetics can influence the development of new treatments
• Dominoes: Innovations in symptom and pain management
• Flowers: Caring for the caregiver
• Tricycles: Survivorship
