Join us for the WOLK Lecture - "A New Epigenetic Fix for Brain Cancer" - presented by Alea Mills, professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.Scientific exploration shapes our lives and impacts the world in a multitude of ways, and Mills is fortunate to lead a highly talented team of international scientists that are driven to make cutting edge discoveries that benefit mankind.In this seminar, Mills will tell you about the journey, and discuss some of their successes, in particular on a cancer known as glioblastoma, the most common type of cancer that starts in the brain. Only about five out of 100 people with glioblastoma are alive five years after they get the news from their doctors; half of these patients live for just around a year. This team discovered a new target that, when depleted, could prolong survival in nearly three quarters of these deadly cancer cases. The group shows that glioblastoma’s malicious nature is due to a protein that goes rogue and repackages our chromosomes to ‘epigenetically’ wipe out our natural ability to prevent cancer. The good news is that we can trigger a switch to revive our cancer-preventing power, thereby shutting down glioblastoma.Mills will also discuss current efforts to advance these findings, which offer promise for future success stories of longer, healthier lives for people with this devastating brain cancer.Co-sponsored by the Michael J. Wolk Heart Foundation. Reception to follow in Cunniff Commons Atrium
