Check out our new study in @ScienceMagazine, where we take on a 100-year-old debate: what’s the role of aneuploidy in cancer? We discovered that genetically removing extra chromosomes blocks cancer growth - a phenomenon we call “aneuploidy addiction”. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Terrific seeing @Lux_Capital stand up to support biomedical research in America. I hope that more venture firms and philanthropies will follow their lead!
1/ We're dedicating $100M to support American scientists facing funding cuts through the Lux Science Helpline, an expansion of our Lux Labs program. To compete in the future, innovation must be funded 🧪💡
