MD Anderson Cancer Center and Nexo Therapeutics have entered a multi-year strategic collaboration that aligns the technology and capabilities of each organization at the earliest stages of drug discovery and development, with the aim of advancing cancer therapies against previously undruggable targets.
Lauren Averett Byers, professor of thoracic/head & neck medical oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, received the 2025 Edith and Peter O’Donnell Award in Medicine from the Texas Academy of Medicine, Engineering, Science and Technology. The award recognizes her fundamental discoveries and contributions to identifying novel therapeutic strategies for small cell lung cancer, which have paved the way for personalized treatments, even in the most highly recalcitrant cancers.
