LA JOLLA\u2014The Salk Institute received a matching $1 million gift from the BioMed Realty Management Team, which was used to fund the recruitment<\/a> of award-winning cancer researcher Christina Towers<\/a> and to support her research and that of the \u7d22\u5c14\u514b\u764c\u75c7\u4e2d\u5fc3<\/a>. The challenge match\u2014where BioMed Realty matches, dollar for dollar, up to $1 million\u2014will also support Salk\u2019s bold \u653b\u514b\u764c\u75c7\u5021\u8bae<\/a>, which is harnessing cutting-edge approaches to fight some of the deadliest cancers, including pancreatic, ovarian, lung, colon, brain (glioblastoma) and triple-negative breast cancer.<\/p>\n

Spearheading the gift was BioMed Realty\u2019s president and CEO, Tim Schoen, who is a Salk Trustee and chairman of the Institute\u2019s Conquering Cancer Initiative Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BioMed Management team is excited to support a world class researcher such as Dr. Towers as she joins the leading scientists at Salk to tackle cancer,\u201d says Schoen. \u201cNow, more than ever, investments in innovative science are needed to help win the war against deadly diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Towers, who joined Salk\u2019s renowned NCI-designated Cancer Center as an assistant professor in December, examines how cancer cells recycle both their own nutrients and the power-generating structures called mitochondria in order to survive. By using a combination of gene-editing techniques, light-based genetic manipulation (optogenetics), three-dimensional miniature organs (\u201corganoids\u201d), and detailed imaging, she aims to identify the best ways to target the recycling pathways that tumors use to survive. Her research aims to lead to new targeted cancer therapies that can improve patient outcomes and survival.

\u201cThe Institute is incredibly grateful for the support and leadership shown by BioMed Realty,\u201d says Salk President \u9c81\u65af\u8482\u00b7\u76d6\u5947<\/a>. \u201cThis generous gift enabled Salk to add an innovative cancer researcher to our faculty. We are thrilled to have Christie working with us.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":32274,"template":"","faculty":[382],"disease-research":[46],"class_list":["post-29907","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","faculty-christina-towers","disease-research-cancer-biology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSalk receives $1 million from BioMed Realty to support innovative cancer research and faculty - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/zh\/news-release\/salk-receives-1-million-from-biomed-realty-to-support-innovative-cancer-research-and-faculty\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"zh_CN\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salk receives $1 million from BioMed Realty to support innovative cancer research and faculty - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA\u2014The Salk Institute received a matching $1 million gift from the BioMed Realty Management Team, which was used to fund the recruitment of award-winning cancer researcher Christina Towers and to support her research and that of the Salk Cancer Center.
