Ludwig Link veterans might have noticed that bright micrographs have lately turned up—with rising frequency, in issue after issue—in the pages of this magazine.
Yet the Communications team’s appetite for pretty pictures was not sated by these servings alone. So we came up with a new feature for the Link and asked researchers across the Ludwig community to share with us striking images captured whenever in their labs and tell us a bit about them.
And share they did. Click here to check out what your colleagues served up for the debut of the Link’s photo gallery. Alternatively, you could work up an appetite for that feast by first perusing our research news section. Aside from its own striking pictures, the section has briefs on everything from the clinical validation of liquid biopsies to better manage stage II colon cancer treatment to the remarkable results of an early trial examining a CAR-T therapy for an intractable pediatric brain cancer.
Other news in this issue covers the Ludwig Institute’s participation in the Weill Cancer Hub East, a $125 million research program at the interface of diet, metabolism and cancer immunotherapy. We also report on a Ludwig Oxford program exploring why and how a subset of generally indolent myeloproliferative neoplasms evolve into aggressive leukemias. Aside from that, we introduce you to a new director of Ludwig Chicago and ask you to join us in congratulating four Ludwig scientists honored for their outsized contributions to cancer research.
Welcome to the May issue of the Ludwig Link!
