21 Jan 2025 – Research Update from the MCM Team (January 2025)
We continue to investigate molecular signatures linked to lung cancer, with a current focus on GCM1, a transcription factor involved in placental development and potentially significant in lung cancer biology. The GCM1 gene encodes a protein with a gcm-motif, playing a central role in DNA-binding and regulating placental-specific genes. While its primary function is in placental biology, emerging evidence suggests GCM1 mutations are implicated in various cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma (ADC).

08 Nov 2024 – Harnessing Technology for Good: How Sawyer and Brett Thompson are Redefining Cancer Research
When Brett Thompson was diagnosed with brain cancer, it was devastating news for his family. But out of this crisis emerged an extraordinary response from his then-12-year-old son, Sawyer Thompson, who used his love for technology to join the fight against cancer in an unexpected way. Today, their story is inspiring people worldwide to rethink how they, too, can contribute to scientific research, even without specialized knowledge or funds.
