This intricate, challenging, ever- shifting disease is nothing if not complex. And though it’s often described with a single word — cancer — there are actually more than 400 distinct types, each with its own unique characteristics and vulnerabilities.

We unearthed new answers Sloan Kettering are experts at matching cancer’s to old questions about fundamental biological complexity with an equally nuanced understanding processes.

INNOVATION MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND THE PRESIDENT CRAIG B. THOMPSON DOUGLAS A. WARNER III PRESIDENT AND CHAIR, BOARDS OF OVERSEERS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND MANAGERS 4. MEMORIAL 2016 SLOAN KETTERING ANNUAL CANCER CENTER REPORT The nation focused on cancer research and treatment with renewed intensity in 2016 because of a confluence of important developments in the realms of policy and medicine. Vice President Joseph Biden, who lost a son to brain cancer, issued a call to action to scientists, clinicians, and the private sector, urging greater data sharing and collaboration. At the same time, researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering and other National Cancer Institute–designated cancer centers demonstrated the power of genomics to identify effective treatments that will benefit more people with cancer. MSK hosted a roundtable conversation with Mr. Biden trials, according to a major study conducted this year that brought together leaders from a variety of areas on behalf of MSK. For example, too many physicians of cancer research and treatment, including our own still believe clinical trials are treatments of last resort. Carol Brown, a gynecologic surgeon and Director of the As a comprehensive cancer center, MSK can play an Office of Diversity Programs in Clinical Care, Research, important role in changing perceptions of clinical trials and Training.

Indeed, the Pennsylvania, are able to offer MSK clinical trials to power of MSK’s collective research accomplishment their patients and participate in key clinical activities was noted last year when the Nature Publishing Group with MSK’s physicians and staff. once again ranked MSK first among all cancer centers in the world for high-quality research output in 2016. MSK continues to focus on how best to analyze the results of cancer DNA sequencing to improve cancer MSK remains committed to increasing patient access treatment and share that information with other health to promising new therapies through clinical trials. systems.

  • And with Google Or Related Entities
    What We Can Learn from Google’s Support for Hillary Clinton Google executives and employees bet heavily on a Clinton victory, hoping to extend the company’s influence on the Obama White House. They lost that bet, and are left scrambling to find an entrée to the Trump Administration. Google’s playbook with Clinton reveals how the company most likely will seek to influence the new administration. There already are signs of that influence: Joshua Wright, who co-wrote a Google-funded paper while on the faculty of George Mason University and currently works at Google’s main antitrust law firm, was named to the Trump transition team on competition issues. Alex Pollock, of the Google-funded R Street Institute, has also been named to oversee the transition at the FTC, which oversees Google's conduct. Introduction Google’s extraordinarily close relationship with President Obama’s administration led to a long list of policy victories of incalculable value to its business.1 An in-depth examination of the company’s efforts to extend that special relationship into the next administration, which it wrongly predicted would be led by Hillary Clinton, reveal what we might expect from Google for the incoming Trump administration. Google’s executives and employees employed a variety of strategies to elect Hillary Clinton and defeat Donald Trump. Google permeated Clinton’s sphere of influence on a broad scale, rivaling the influence it exerted over the Obama administration. A review found at least 57 people were affiliated with both Clinton—in her presidential campaign, in her State Department, at her family foundation—and with Google or related entities.

  • Google Becomes Alphabet
    Google to become Alphabet as firm shakes up operating structure Yahoo Finance By Aaron Pressman August 10, 2015 5:05 PM Investors have been after Google CEO Larry Page for years to cut back on the pie-in-the-sky bets that many see as a costly distraction to the company's highly profitable core search and Internet advertising businesses. On Monday, Page and partner in crime/Google co-founder Sergey Brin came up with an unprecedented solution: create a new holding company structure to separate, at least in their financial results, Google's core Internet businesses from the farther afield fare like DNA research, smart thermostats and self- driving cars. The move harkened back to Page and Brin's controversial auction-based initial public offering back in 2004, an unusual structure that puzzled Wall Street. The initial stock market reaction was positive, as Google shares jumped more than 7%. Under the unorthodox plan unveiled by Page on Monday, a new holding company called Alphabet will be formed as the publicly-traded entity owning Google and all of its varied other efforts. Page will become CEO of Alphabet and Sundar Pichai, who oversaw most of Google's core businesses, will become CEO of the newly segregated Google unit. Brin will become the president of Alphabet, and Eric Schmidt will become the executive chairman of Alphabet. The Google unit, which will report distinct financial results, will include only search, ads, maps, apps, YouTube and Android and the related technical infrastructure, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
