Damian Green will join Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University Miami Miller School of Medicine this spring to lead its transplantation and cellular therapy services. Green was named chief of the Division of Transplantation & Cellular Therapy, as well as assistant director of Translational Research, beginning March 1.
Many therapeutic molecules used in cancer treatments are highly toxic, often harming healthy tissues and causing significant side effects. This creates a critical need for strategies that localize their toxic activity to tumors. What if cancer drugs could stay dormant until they reach cancer cells? A study by Syracuse University researchers demonstrates a promising chemistry-based strategy that could do just that.
