SAVE THE DATE: The CCIL will host the Illini 4000 as the team makes a stop in Champaign-Urbana on its cross-country trek to fight cancer! 📅 Monday, June 16 ⏰ Afternoon (Exact Time TBD) 📍 Beckman Institute South Entrance #cancerresearch #cancer

NEW STUDY: Researchers have discovered that colorectal cancer patients with high levels of a certain protein are more likely to experience chemotherapy resistance. 🔗 go.illinois.edu/BRD4

🔬 NEW: Scientists have developed a new way to label cells during experiments, called "nanocoding." Nanocoding eliminates issues found in traditional labeling methods, including cell damage - and can help in evaluating a tumor's diverse elements. 🔗 go.illinois.edu/Nanocoding

👏 CCIL researcher Shuming Nie has crossed 100,000 citations on Google Scholar - each citation reflecting how his research has contributed to advancing scientific discoveries! 🔗 go.illinois.edu/ShumingNie

▶ Researchers in CCIL scientist Hua Wang's lab have found a new option for targeted drug delivery using engineered platelets. This method has the potential to impact treatments for cancer, immune diseases, and blood clotting disorders. 🔗 Details: go.illinois.edu/WangPlatelets▶
