A team of Purdue researchers led by Purdue Institute for Cancer Research (PICR) member Graham Cooks of @AstonlabsPurdue has developed a method that uses fast-moving microdroplets to accelerate chemical reactions without high temperatures or catalysts.
The technology can rapidly synthesize and test thousands of compounds, including potential anticancer drug candidates, using the same automated mass spectrometry platform. purdue.link/tiny-droplets-ne…

The complexity of cancer has long outpaced what any single discipline can address, and the way researchers are trained must reflect that reality.
The Purdue Institute for Cancer Research has received a five-year National Cancer Institute (@theNCI) T32 award to launch the Purdue Interdisciplinary Cancer Research Training (PICRT) program, Purdue's first NIH-funded doctoral training program dedicated to cancer research. purdue.link/cancer-training-…
Led by Dorothy Teegarden and Danzhou Yang, the program will prepare the next generation of scientists for the collaborative, cross-disciplinary challenges of modern cancer research.

🇺🇸 Purdue Institute for Cancer Research Director Andrew Mesecar joined colleagues from the @IUCancerCenter in Washington, D.C., today for @AACI_Cancer / @AACR Hill Day to advocate for strong, sustained NIH and NCI funding that powers cancer research, including across Indiana’s leading research institutions.
That investment drives discoveries from foundational laboratory science to advances that shape the future of cancer care.
In FY2025 alone, NIH-funded awards in Indiana generated $1.1 billion in economic activity.

A new multicenter clinical utility study is evaluating how the PanCystPro assay may help guide care decisions for patients with pancreatic cystic lesions, which are known precursors to pancreatic cancer.
The technology was developed by Purdue researcher and PICR member V. Jo Davisson and commercialized through Amplified Sciences. purdue.link/6coily
