Building the team to end cancer as we know it
The Knight Cancer Institute and CEDAR have recruited, organized and empowered dozens of brilliant, passionate people from radically different scientific backgrounds to come together around a common goal and solve complex problems. Meet eight scientists who are bringing early cancer detection into a new era.
CEDAR researcher: Thuy Ngo, Ph.D.
Ngo’s work involves analyzing blood samples for signs of early disease, aiming to detect signals from the body that mark transitions from healthy to cancerous states.
CEDAR researcher: Matthew Rames, Ph.D.
Rames’ work with microscopy and imaging technologies allows him to look at cellular structures like mitochondria and the ways they’re impacted by cancer.
CEDAR researcher: Xubo Song, Ph.D.
Song specializes in machine learning and AI, applying them to biomedical data, especially images focusing on cancer.
