CSSIMM recently welcomed sixteen STEM Educators as part of their “Safari of Local Industries” to learn about the math, science and technology embedded in employee job skills and duties. Teachers learned about these family sustaining jobs with skills directly tied to the classroom, to be able to answer the age-old question, “Why do I need to know this?”. There are many jobs embedded within these industries and others that our communities and schools are not aware of, which could provide great opportunities to live and work locally.

Some new research is happening at Chan Soon-Shiong Institute of Molecular Medicine at Windber.

“In patients who have or had breast cancer, is their immune response to COVID different and could that lead to the exacerbation of long COVID?” Henning said.

Long COVID, or the persistence of symptoms well after the onset of the coronavirus, can last weeks or even years after infection.

APOLLO! PROMETHEUS! ORIEN!

In the October edition of Johnstown Magazine, read why the “Anomaly “of Chan Soon-Shiong Institute in Windber has its place on the international stage for breast cancer research and break throughs.

“We’re 190 miles away from most of our colleagues... We have no reason to be here other than we add value.”

For Breast Cancer Awareness month, Johnstown Magazine special correspondent, Randy Griffith submits a comprehensive look at how the Chan Soon-Shiong Institute of Molecular Medicine at Windber program has grown into a vital component of multiple collaborative research projects and how that program is attracting and inspiring other research groups.

Why is it important? It means the next big discovery or life saving treatment when it comes to the battle against breast cancer could happen right here at home!

About CSSIMMW

Windber Research Institute doing business as Chan Soon-Shiong Institute of Molecular Medicine at Windber, was founded in the year 2000, with the inception of the Clinical Breast Care Project (CBCP). CBCP is a US Congress mandated research program resourced by late Congressman Mr. John Murtha. There are five pillars of the CBCP, and our Institute is responsible for Biobanking, Biomedical Informatics, and Focused Research activities. Clinical Care and Risk Reduction are led by the clinical teams spearheaded by the Murtha Cancer Center Research Program (MCCRP) of the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. The Institute has over the years supported other major research programs of the DoD including a cardiologic disease study, a gynecologic disease program, and pan-cancer studies. The Institute has since developed its expertise in biobanking and biorepository sciences, informatics infrastructure system development, bioinformatics, and translational research in breast cancer. Our biobanking and infrastructure systems are now supporting major consortium research programs such as the Applied Proteogenomic OrganizationaL Learning and Outcomes (APOLLO), as well as the Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) as part of the MCCRP. Our research has provided insights into the understanding of breast cancer racial disparity, breast cancer in young women, and the importance of high-quality clinical data in cancer studies.
