💜 Today is World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day 💜 I’m reflecting on the incredible work of Project Purple® in the fight against pancreatic cancer. This cause is personal for me. My father-in-law Bruce passed away from this disease, and his memory inspires me to share their achievements... 1 - $750,000 Research Grant: Project Purple has made the largest donation to pancreatic cancer research in Connecticut. This grant funds a statewide high-risk screening program, designed to serve as a national model. 2 - Global Reach: As a partner of the five largest World Major Marathons, they’ve brought pancreatic cancer awareness to the global stage. 3 - Community Stories: Through podcasts, events, and community stories, they give hope and strength to those impacted. Their mission is to make early detection a reality and improve survival rates. Bruce’s story is a reminder of how much this work matters. 💜 Today, I honor Bruce and the progress being made by Project Purple. #WorldPancreaticCancerDay #ProjectPurple #PancreaticCancerAwarenessMonth

#Missioncancer topics are out, acknowledging the relevance of #1MG, #EHDS, and #EUCAIM initiatives and the need to bridge between them to deliver solutions to one of our greatest challenges. The call text mentions the relevance of European Research infrastructure ELIXIR and BBMRI-ERIC (building on available EU capacity and member states and EC investment in the last ten years), as well as ELIXIR coordinated and participating projects like the European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI), European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM), EOSC4Cancer, canSERV, and HealthData@EU Pilot. As always, successful and long-term solutions only come from collaboration and cross-discipline approaches that allow for the participation of all actors.
