The American Cancer Society funded several grants to Dr. Ambros between 1980-1990 as well as a faculty research award grant to Dr. Ruvkun from 1991-1995. Much of this funded work was a precursor to Victor Ambros’ and Gary Ruvkun’s seminal discovery. We’re ecstatic to see them recognized for this honor!
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

The earlier prostate cancer is found, the better your chances are of beating it. That’s why I’m teaming up with the @AmericanCancer to raise awareness and encourage early screening.

This year alone, over 313,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. It’s the most common cancer among American men, and early screening is key. That's why I've teamed up with @AmericanCancer Society to spread the word. Visit cancer.org/getscreened to learn more. #ProstateCancerAwareness #MensHealth #GetScreened

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and I’m asking our community of travelers to help me spread the word: the earlier prostate cancer is found, the better your chances are of beating it. I didn’t get screened until I was 69 years old, and when I did, I discovered my prostate was riddled with cancer. Thankfully, it didn’t spread... my surgery went great... and my doctor says I’m now cancer-free. But you can bet I’ll be keeping an eye on my prostate-specific antigen score (PSA) — which you can find out for yourself with a simple blood test. I like to think that we’ve all got some of our best travels ahead of us. So please, don’t wait: Visit cancer.org/getscreened to learn more from the @AmericanCancer Society and find a screening location near you.

The House just passed a bill that makes the biggest cut to #Medicaid in history & kicks millions off health coverage. This will have a lasting impact on the fight against cancer. Health care costs will ⬆️& those who need screening/preventive care could have to go without. (1/2)
