At EMI, we empower the next generation of scientists to turn bold ideas into real-world impact. Through our partnership with Harvey Mudd College, students are gaining hands-on opportunities to innovate at the intersection of health, research, and technology. This summer, we were excited to welcome Harvey Mudd President Harriet Nembhard to explore how these student-led projects are shaping the future of science and medicine. 🚀

As October comes to an end, Dr. Reva Basho, our Chief Medical Officer and breast medical oncologist, reflects on the remarkable progress in breast cancer care.

Today, treatment is increasingly personalized, guided by the biology of a patient’s individual tumor. It’s a hopeful time in breast cancer care, as new discoveries continue to improve outcomes and inspire optimism for patients and their families.

Take this moment to prioritize your health - schedule your mammogram, reach out to your oncologist, or connect with us to learn more about ongoing research and care.

What if we could use health data more effectively to save lives?

A new study from the Ellison Medical Institute proposes a nationwide data infrastructure that empowers patients, supports clinicians, and accelerates cancer research.

Published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, the study calls for federal-state collaboration to securely connect systems and drive progress in prevention, diagnostics, and care.

“A national framework for organizing health data is the missing piece in reducing the burden of cancer,” says Dr. Gabriel Seidman.

We were taught DNA didn't change throughout our lifetime. Today, we know that’s not the case: genetic changes happen regularly.

At the Ellison Medical Institute, our research team has shown it’s possible to track DNA changes over time and potentially link them to cancer risk. In a new study published in Nature's Scientific Reports, we used serial blood samples from patients to show how genetic mutations accumulate as we age, opening the door to better cancer risk assessment and personalized prevention strategies.
