'Yuan He aims to understand how cells read and repair their genomes. His research encompasses two primary areas: transcription, in which genetic information is copied from DNA into messenger RNA, and DNA repair, particularly how cells detect and fix DNA lesions. DNA repair is crucial for the body to maintain regular cell function and to preserve the integrity of the genome, preventing mutations that can lead to diseases such as #cancer.'

'It is the experiences of patients like Keith that drive the Kimmel Cancer Center to become better. In the early years of the Cancer Center, the primary focus was on saving lives, with cancer taking the lives of nearly 70% of pediatric patients diagnosed. As research led to improved therapies and longer survival, another focus was added. Clinicians and scientists worked together to decrease toxicities of cancer therapies and added a long-term survivorship clinic to monitor patients for late effects and develop ways to prevent and treat them.'

“I do think that experience is what made me who I am — strong, a fighter,” says Heather. “At 9 and 10, I didn’t realize what it meant then, or what I was fighting for, but now, at this age, I really understand, and it means something different to me today. I had to fight to be here today.”
