🎉Exciting news! Our founder Dr. Binay Shah and board chair Dr. David Aboulafia have published a powerful op-ed in Seattle Times highlighting the critical importance of cancer research funding. 👇Read the complete op-ed: buff.ly/hvtx5N6 #Binaytara #CancerResearch #Medsky

This agency drove huge progress in cancer research in WA. Now it's in peril | Op-Ed

The digital age's progress in oncology did not emerge in a vacuum. It's a direct result of federal investment in agencies like the NIH, which is now in peril.

Proud to co-author an op-ed with Dr. David Aboulafia on the devastating impact of proposed federal cuts to cancer research funding.
These cuts would stall clinical trials, cost jobs, and slow progress against cancer at a time when patients need hope the most. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/life...
