I'm nearing a decade of participation in Pedal the Cause, an outstanding event to raise funds for the fight against cancer. As a lymphoma physician-scientist at Siteman Cancer Center, my research focuses on (1) deciphering the biology of why lymphomas occur and what influences the indolent vs. aggressive behaviors of some lymphomas, (2) advancing new treatments into the clinic such as immunotherapies that may spare patients from chemotherapy, and (3) developing new biomarkers (such as circulating tumor DNA) to track patients' response to treatment with greater sensitivity and specificity than standard radiology imaging.
Donations to Pedal the Cause support our basic and clinical research efforts, recent examples of which include:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37824796/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37493986/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38713894/
Supporting Pedal the Cause can help accelerate the follow-up to these and other research endeavors.
Thanks so much!
