Congratulations to Dr. Shannon McWeeney on earning the Walter and Clora Brownfield Endowed Professorship in Cancer Research! As Chief Data Officer, Dr. McWeeney develops rigorous computational methods that support precision decision-making at the point of care for cancer patients.

Data governance: “Can we trust the record?” #AI governance: “Can we trust the decision built on that record?” Without clear provenance of where data came from, how it was processed, & who it represents, we can’t judge bias or safety in AI. In healthcare, that should be a hard stop. bit.ly/4cLAbPH

So sad to learn out the passing of Peer Bork. I collaborated with his group at EMBL in the mid 2000’s. He leaves a lasting imprint on the fields of bioinformatics, metagenomics, and computational biology, and an enduring spirit of open, curiosity-driven exploration.

Chris Eide discussing our new platform that predicts tumor responsiveness and patient outcome for standard-of-care therapies in AML #ASH25 @ohsuknight.bsky.social

Really enjoyed the fantastic session we had yesterday on applications of AI in hematology at #ASH25 with @wondermixtape.bsky.social, Sanam Loghavi, and @kdpsingh.bsky.social!

Looking forward to our joint session Advancing Hematology Through Artificial Intelligence today at 4pm Hyatt Regency Ballroom S #ASH25 w/ Vijay Sankaran Sanam Loghavi & @kdpsingh.bsky.social on how #AI is will impact hematology across discovery science, diagnostics, & clinical care

An incredibly emotional day for all of us at OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. Phil & Penny Knight gave a transformative $2 billion gift to ensure that Oregonians facing a cancer diagnosis receive the best care & the best possible outcome. The fight against cancer is and will always be personal. 🎗️

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)

Petabytes of critical government research that is marked for possible deletion cannot be archived because of technical and legal restrictions, meaning it is very likely to be lost forever: www.404media.co/nih-archives...

Massive, Unarchivable Datasets of Cancer, Covid, and Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever

Days before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that 10,000 HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review."

"Protecting these institutions is vital—not just for scientific advancement but for the millions of patients who rely on them for hope and cutting-edge care," write Shannon McWeeney (@wondermixtape.bsky.social) and Sorena Nadaf-Rahrov https://cancerletter.com/guest-editorial/20250321_2/

Caught in the crossfire: The critical threats facing cancer centers, research, and patient care - The Cancer Letter

NCI-designated cancer centers and academic medical institutions (AMCs) are facing unprecedented threats that jeopardize their ability to conduct groundbreaking research, deliver cutting-edge care, and sustain clinical trials essential to patient treatment. Funding instability, including freezes on federal grants and sudden cuts to indirect cost rates, is creating a ripple effect that disrupts the entire cancer […]
