ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) announced today that the 2021 Szent-Györgyi Prize for Progress in Cancer Research will be awarded to Tak W. Mak, Ph.D., senior scientist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and university professor at the University of Toronto, and Mark M. Davis, Ph.D., professor of microbiology and immunology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, for their breakthrough discoveries of the structure of T-cell receptor (TCR) and pioneering research in deciphering the mechanisms of T-cell recognition and development. These discoveries have formed a critical part of contemporary immuno-oncology and the molecular foundation for life-saving CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapies, a novel T-cell-based immunotherapy approach already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of several types of blood cancer.

How Tracking Health Indicators Facilitates More Targeted Policy Interventions

Over the years, India has made substantial investments to drive better health outcomes in adult, maternal, child and neonatal cohorts. While there has been significant progress, there are still state-wise and district wise gaps and disparities in health outcomes. These need to be addressed so that these investments can yield their intended results, and health interventions can reach, and benefit, the most vulnerable populations.
