July 10, 2013 Princeton Alumni Weekly • paw.princeton.edu Dear Fellow Alumni,

As I write this, I am feeling a bit wistful. June 30th marks the end of my two year term, and it has been an extraordinary experience. To paraphrase Will Rogers – I have yet to meet a Tiger I didn’t like. I especially want to thank my fellow Executive Committee members job so pleasant.

At this juncture, I’m told it’s customary to report on what we’ve done over the past two years. By way of context, I thought it would be Henry Von Kohorn '66 P98 h*12 President, Alumni Association useful to restate our mission, which is “to engage as many alumni as of Princeton University possible in the ongoing life of the University and to support alumni Chair, Alumni Council initiatives that promote the goals of the University.” Our theme for the past two years has been “inclusiveness” – to foster a sense of belonging among all alumni. Below are some of the initiatives we’ve undertaken that relate to our mission and theme.

With these initiatives and others, we are sending what we hope is a clear message that all alumni are valued and all are part of the family.

BREAKING GROUND The physics of cancer cells

A NEW APPROACH In 2009, physics professor Robert Austin received a call from the National Cancer Institute, asking him to take part in a new program that aimed to study the physical principles of cancer. The idea was to develop outside-the-box approaches to cancer research by bringing together chemists, mathematicians, engineers, and physicists: “weird guys who are working on strange things” who might provide insight into the disease, Austin said. Austin is now the leader of the Princeton Physical Sciences-Oncology Center, one of 12 centers in the cancer institute’s Physical Sciences in Oncology program. The team includes electrical engineering professor James Sturm and chemistry professor Salvatore Torquato, as well as biologists, engineers, and physicists from other universities. P 17 METASTATIC CELL PROPERTIES Most cancer patients die as a result of tumors’ spreading to other organs in the body, called metastasis. But scientists don’t understand the properties that are unique to metastatic tumor cells and that allow them to travel through the bloodstream and colonize an organ. Austin and his colleagues recently compared the properties of meta - Austin static breast-cancer cells and non-cancerous breast cells. The Princeton group designed small silicon chambers with micro-sized channels that fit only a single cell and mimic the body’s environment to observe differences in the way these two types of cells move. The metastatic cells were much more resourceful, able to move through the n a r r o w channels quicker and in a straight line — which could allow cells to break away from a tumor mass and traverse the bloodstream and narrow capillaries to seed a tumor in another part of the body. The cells also tolerated stress such as low- oxygen conditions better than the non-metastatic cells did.

FROM BACTERIA TO CANCER Austin had been studying the evolution of bacterial colonies exposed to antibiotics and saw a connection with the way cancers rapidly AUSTIN evolve resistance to therapies. He currently is working with Sturm on how tumor ROBERT cells develop resistance to cancer drugs.

A new sculpture has joined the University’s renowned collection of outdoor works of art. The sculpture, which consists of three 7-foot concrete columns and two blue rubber forms, was designed by the Lewis Center’s “Advanced Sculpture” class taught by artist Martha Friedman. The class attracted

undergraduates and graduate students in architecture who designed the sculpture and oversaw its installation between the Friend Center and Mudd JACLYN

Library, where it will be on display through October. The class had a harder time agreeing on the sculpture’s name than its design; the result was SWEET a “combined title” 87 words long.
