💙 What an amazing first day! 💙

We would like to officially welcome the inaugural cohort of high school interns to the Cellular Journeys and CancerQuest Internship Program!

Today was filled with enthusiasm, creativity, collaboration, and so much potential. We spent time getting to know one another, sharing our mission, exploring project opportunities, and listening to the incredible ideas these students brought to the table.

From cancer awareness campaigns and educational videos to website development, social media outreach, fundraising initiatives, laboratory communication projects, and community events, our interns are already thinking about how they can make a meaningful impact.

What impressed us most was not only their talent and curiosity, but also their genuine desire to help others and contribute to something larger than themselves.

We are excited to mentor and learn alongside this remarkable group over the coming weeks and cannot wait to see their ideas come to life.

Thank you to each student and family for placing your trust in us. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey!

✨ One Team. One Mission. One Impact. ✨

🎗️ Could cancer cells be hiding in the body long after treatment ends?

Researchers are learning that some cancer cells may enter a hidden "sleep mode," remaining dormant in the body for months, years, or even decades before potentially becoming active again.

These dormant cells are now believed to play an important role in cancer recurrence and metastasis—and understanding how they survive could help researchers develop better treatments in the future.

🧬 Why do these cells survive?
🧬 What causes them to "wake up" again?
🧬 Could future therapies target them before recurrence occurs?

💬 Have you ever heard the term "cancer dormancy" before? Were you aware that some cancer cells can remain inactive for years after treatment?
