UNC Lineberger's Carey Anders, MD, medical director of the UNC Breast Center and associate professor in the UNC School of Medicine Division of Hematology/Oncology, was honored Thursday, Feb. 8, with a plaque to commemorate the inaugural lecture that she delivered last March for the Atkins-Bearden Lectureship series. The lecture was delivered at the Southeast Clinic Oncology Research Consortium's spring conference in Spartanburg, S.C.

Patty Spears spoke to UNC Lineberger postdoctoral trainees about the value of incorporating the patient perspective into research.

UNC Lineberger’s Patient Research Advocacy Group will help scientists and trainees to consider the patient perspective when conducting and presenting their research.

In the journal Nature, UNC Lineberger's Greg Wang, PhD, and colleagues reported findings about the structure and function of the DNMT3A enzyme complex, which helps control gene expression.

A study from the lab of UNC Lineberger's Dirk Dittmer, PhD, found that HIV sends out a protein called Nef in cellular packages called exosomes.

Scientists led by UNC Lineberger's Aravind Asokan, PhD, reveal how certain gene-carrying AAV vectors can penetrate the brain more efficiently to treat brain and spinal cord conditions, while reducing liver payload.

Matthew Milowsky, MD, has been elected as co-chair of the Bladder Cancer Task Force of the National Cancer Institute’s Genitourinary Cancers Steering Committee.

Matthew Milowsky, MD, will help oversee a panel that provides insight on bladder cancer research and priorities proposed by the National Cancer Institute’s Genitourinary Cancers Steering Committee.

UNC Lineberger's Sha Chang, PhD, was named to the latest class of KickStart Venture Services' Commercialization Award winners. She plans to use the funding to launch test site implementation of the startup's solution for improving radiation treatment precision for cancer.

In a study published in the International Journal of Cancer, researchers led by UNC Lineberger's Hazel Nichols, PhD, analyzed health indicators for children born to young breast cancer survivors in North Carolina.

In a study led by UNC Lineberger's Adam Goldstein, MD, researchers found that efforts are needed to help youth remain nicotine free – especially those adolescents who aren’t otherwise susceptible to smoking cigarettes.

The Colon Cancer Coalition has awarded a $25,000 grant to UNC Lineberger's Carolina Cancer Screening Initiative to support a program designed to improve colorectal cancer screening rates in Hertford County, North Carolina.

UNC Lineberger’s Carolina Cancer Screening Initiative is working in partnership with the Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center in Ahoskie, North Carolina, to improve the colorectal cancer screening rates in a part of the state that has been significantly challenged by this disease.
