Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s Post

On this World Cancer Day, I'm happy to share the publication of our latest paper entitled "Auto-segmentation of pelvic organs at risk on 0.35T MRI using 2D and 3D Generative Adversarial Network models". Our findings are now accessible to all at the following link https://lnkd.in/dR8Kp8h2 Let's continue pushing boundaries and striving for a cancer-free future together! #WorldCancerDay #Research #ProstateCancer #Artificialntelligence #DeepLearning

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. The human brain is an intricate mystery that researchers are still striving to understand. To gain more insight into brain processes, scientists often peer into the brains of research organisms such as fruit flies and mice for studying diseases like cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and more. In this Biomedical Beat blog post, we showcase a slideshow of images and videos from NIGMS-supported researchers investigating the secrets of the brain. Check it out through the link in the comments. #ResearchOrganisms #BrainAwarenessMonth #AlzheimersAwareness

📣 Exciting news! Our latest paper on the impact of reduced [18F]FDG doses in whole-body PET/CT imaging has been published and is now accessible in the journal Frontiers in Physics. Take a look and share your insights with us 💡

#DYK: Hemianopia is a partial #visionloss affecting half of the visual field, left or right, in both eyes, and it’s usually caused by brain damage. Depending on the cause, #hemianopia may be permanent or temporary. Dr. Michael Reber (PhD) and the team from the Donald K. Johnson Eye Institute, University Health Network, in collaboration with researchers from The Hospital for Sick Children, developed a homegrown vision rehabilitation program helping young brain cancer survivors, whose sight has been impacted by their tumours, improve their vision. The program uses virtual reality to effectively retrain parts of the brain, allowing them to better perceive objects and obstacles. Hear more about the program and the story >> https://lnkd.in/gzn9s7GB Learn about low vision conditions, treatment options and our current research at the Donald K.

On Father's Day this year, I presented our work on NaNots at the superb Longevity Summit Dublin conference. Sticking around so I can enjoy and support friends and family is a big reason why I'm interested in longevity science. NaNots, the new class of medicine our company is developing, will have their initial application in FDA-recognized conditions like cancer and sepsis, but our scientists believe that the NaNot platform also has strong utility against core mechanisms of aging, some of which I describe in this talk. Enjoy! #nanotech #medicine #innovation #longevity

"Brain Tumor Awareness Week is a time to raise awareness, show support, and amplify voices in the fight against brain tumors. Every year, thousands of individuals and families are impacted by brain tumors, facing emotional, physical, and financial challenges. By coming together, we can help improve early diagnosis, promote access to advanced treatments, and drive critical research toward a cure. Let’s stand in solidarity with those affected and work to create a future with better outcomes, more hope, and fewer challenges. Knowledge is power; together, we can make a difference. #BrainTumorAwareness #ResearchForACure #HealthMatters"

The countdown is almost over! ⏳ Our Nikon Asia Pacific Life Science Webinar is happening tomorrow from 4-5 PM (AST). Don’t miss your chance to hear Dr. John Lock, Head of the Cancer Systems Microscopy Lab, UNSW Sydney. Sign up now and be part of this insightful session! 🔬🌟 #NikonWebinar #LifeScience #CancerResearch #Microscopy #WebinarTomorrow

We look to our #ESREssentials series this week for the latest #RadiologyAndBeyond article. Ricarda Ebner et al. explore the role of [18F]FDG-PET/CT in the early diagnosis of cancer and how this can contribute to personalized treatment plans alongside the practice recommendations from the European Society for Hybrid, Molecular and Translational Imaging. #EuropeanRadiology #RadiologyAndBeyond 🔗 https://buff.ly/3Ug2sEG

Check out this interview clip from the Humans in Space Challenge! Hopefully a full-length one is in the works where you can hear my thoughts on the future of human spaceflight (it involves developing and using cosmic radiation countermeasures) 😁

This is truly inspiring. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center shares their story on SiliconANGLE & theCUBE, highlighting two powerful quotes: "One of our post-docs was able to finish his doctorate a full year ahead of schedule, thanks to the performance of the (e.g., WEKA + Dell Technologies) cluster. Now, with his #PhD in hand, he can focus on researching new therapies, drug discoveries and #vaccinations, all in the hopes of curing cancer and other diseases for our #patients." "What used to take years is now done in months. What once took months is now completed in weeks... what took hours is now measured in minutes, and what took minutes is now accomplished in seconds. At MSK, we’re committed to ending cancer for good, and providing our researchers with cutting-edge technology empowers them to do their best science and stay ahead of the curve in the fight against cancer." — Adette #CancerAwareness #CancerResearch #CancerSupport #CancerPrevention #CancerCare #FightCancer #SC24
