हर मरीज़ के पीछे एक परिवार, एक कहानी और एक समुदाय होता है। किसी को भी कैंसर का सामना अकेले या अंधेरे में नहीं करना चाहिए। ज्ञान ही शक्ति है। हम सब मिलकर कैंसर के सफ़र को कम अकेला बना सकते हैं।

Another Blow
April 4, 2026
The FY2027 budget proposal released by the White House calls for a $5.787 billion cut to NIH research funding. That's a 12.3% reduction from FY2026 levels. For an agency that has seen steady funding growth for decades, this would be a historic reversal. This money is critical to funding biomedical treatments and disease detection tools that could save or extend millions of lives. Research decades in the making would be shuttered before making a breakthrough.
But science is not partisan. And this announcement is not final. We have until October 1, 2026, to convince Congress that more NIH funding is absolutely necessary. So, send emails, call, and write to your Congressmembers to let them know we, the people, care. Make your voice heard.
New Hope for Lung Cancer Patients
March 17, 2026
I’m honored to share that my paper on a promising combination therapy for lung cancer patients has been published!
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and while immunotherapy has helped many patients, current treatments still don't work for most people diagnosed with the disease. Researchers are actively looking for ways to make immunotherapy more effective. This study investigates whether combining a KRAS-targeted vaccine and a small-molecule immune checkpoint inhibitor, CA170 targeting PD-L1 and VISTA, can improve the antitumor immune response in lung cancer. The findings unequivocally say yes, it can.

We Lost This One
March 11, 2026
For 10 months, we fought to renew the healthcare tax credits, emailing, calling, and meeting with Congressmen and Congresswomen. Unfortunately, we fell short, and the credits will not be renewed. However, our efforts are not lost. They will carry over in our momentum in 2026, where we will continue to push for lower cancer care costs.

Congress passed a new bill to fund cancer research!
February 4, 2026
On February 3, 2026, Congress passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill: protecting research funding and rejecting the 38% cuts that threatened to devastate cancer research.
When the Administration first proposed massive cuts to cancer research funding in the President’s Budget last February, we responded immediately, urging lawmakers to reject cuts and invest in cancer research. And when one final push was needed to get the Senate across the finish line, we showed up again, making phone calls, and taking to social media.
After 10 months of fighting, we won! They heard us, and they did.
Now, cancer patients will have access to more and better options for preventing, treating, and one day curing this disease.
