People x Biology x Data = Solving Cancer with Immunotherapy [Video]

Dive into the future of cancer immunotherapy with this event recap. Viewstream recently hosted a groundbreaking fundraiser at The Modernist Club in San Francisco, CA, in support of the Cancer Research Institute. Titled “People x Biology x Data = Solving Cancer with Immunotherapy,” this leap day event brought together experts and enthusiasts alike to explore the transformative potential of machine learning, bioinformatics, AI, and big data in the realm of cancer research.

CRI’s CEO and Director of Scientific Affairs, Dr. Jill O’Donnell-Tormey lead a captivating fireside chat with three distinguished CRI Lloyd J. Old STAR grantees: Dr. Alexander Marson from the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Ansu Satpathy from Stanford University, and Dr. Matt Spitzer from the University of California, San Francisco.

Their dialogue delves into harnessing bioinformatics tools, leveraging vast datasets, identifying novel biomarkers, and predicting treatment responses – all with the shared goal of optimizing personalized immunotherapies. Discover how the depth and breadth of information provided by big data are unlocking new frontiers in cancer research, uncovering hidden correlations, accelerating drug discovery, and tailoring interventions with unprecedented precision.

Established in 1953, the Cancer Research Institute (CRI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to harnessing our immune system’s power to control and potentially cure all cancers. Our mission: Save more lives by fueling the discovery and development of powerful immunotherapies for all types of cancer. To accomplish this, we rely on donor support and collaborative partnerships to fund and carry out the most innovative clinical and laboratory research around the world, support the next generation of the field’s leaders, and serve as the trusted source of information on immunotherapy for cancer patients and their caregivers. https://www.cancerresearch.org
