生態系としてのがん | Leslie Crews, PhD | TEDxSanDiegoSalon

がんは、破壊すべき腫瘍細胞の集まりとしてだけでなく、乱れた生態系として捉えることもできます。カリフォルニア大学サンディエゴ校の助教であるLeslie Crews博士は、ニュージーランドの絶滅危惧鳥類を出発点に、生態学、幹細胞生物学、がん研究の知見を取り上げます。講演では、血液がんの研究、免疫の老化、次世代の治療法について紹介されています。TED形式に沿って地域で独立に運営されたTEDxの講演です。

• がんを、回復しうる乱れた生態系として捉える視点
• 血液がん研究と免疫の老化に関する知見
• 次世代療法と細胞の生態系の再構築

What can endangered birds in New Zealand teach us about cancer? Drawing on insights from ecology, stem cell biology, and cancer research, Dr. Leslie Crews explores a new way of thinking about cancer: not simply as tumor cells to destroy, but as a disrupted ecosystem that may be restored. Through discoveries in blood cancer research, immune aging, and next-generation therapies, she shares how rebuilding cellular ecosystems could help shape the future of cancer treatment. www.crews-lab.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/lesliecrewsphd/ #bloodcancer #cancerecosystem #myeloma #TEDxSanDiego #TEDx #MooresCancerCenter #UCSD Dr. Leslie Crews is an Assistant Professor at UC San Diego and Co-Leader of the Hematologic Malignancies Research Program at the Moores Cancer Center. A third-generation native San Diegan, her first foray into scientific research was as a summer high school intern tasked with studying the behavior of fruit flies in a laboratory at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. She then trained at UCLA and UC San Diego in diverse biomedical research fields spanning neuroscience, eye disease, blood stem cell biology, geroscience, and cancer. Now her laboratory aims to uncover unifying biological circuitries that drive blood cancer regeneration and drug resistance. By targeting entire tumor ecosystems, her team is advancing new therapeutic strategies designed to reduce cancer burden while sparing healthy cells. Dr. Crews’ research is currently supported by an NCI R37 MERIT Award, a Blood Cancer United Scholar Award, and an American Society of Hematology Bridge Grant, among other national honors. www.crews-lab.com This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
