More than 60 of the nation\u2019s top gastrointestinal (GI) cancer clinical translational researchers from 19 institutions braved a winter storm to convene in Chapel Hill on January 9 and 10, for the 2025 GI Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) Investigators Meeting, with an additional 40 joining virtually.<\/p>\n

Staged annually by an institution funded by a GI SPORE P50 award from the National Cancer Institute,<\/a> the Investigators Meeting is an important opportunity for project leaders and talented junior investigators to present recent findings and collaborate to address cancers that are among some of the most difficult to treat. This year\u2019s edition was hosted by the Selective Targeting of Pancreatic Cancer (SToP) SPORE<\/a> at UNC-Chapel Hill and organized by Jen Jen Yeh, MD<\/a>, the SPORE\u2019s Principal Investigator and director of the UNC Lineberger Pancreatic Cancer Center of Excellence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Across a day and a half, 35 investigators presented the latest discoveries from ongoing and completed work conducted as part of their SPORE projects. 13 SPOREs were represented at the meeting, focused on GI cancers such as pancreatic and colon cancers, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatobiliary cancer, and cancer health disparities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be exciting to see the development of many of the presented preclinical studies and outcomes from the clinical trials,\u201d said Toby Hecht, Deputy Director of the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis and Associate Director of the Translational Research Program at the National Cancer Institute. \u201cParticularly significant were the presentations from those investigators supported by the SPORE\u2019s Career Enhancement Programs and the Developmental Research Programs, as well as from the young investigators who hold the cancer research future in their hands.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
