A crowd-sourcing strategy aimed at accelerating research into metastatic breast cancer has connected advocacy groups, social media, and a dedicated web site to register more than 2,000 patients from all 50 states in its first seven months, say researchers from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Ó³»­´«Ã½ of MIT and Harvard.

Stuart Schreiber, a core member of the Ó³»­´«Ã½ of MIT and Harvard and a Professor of Chemistry at Harvard, has been awarded the 2016 Wolf Prize in chemistry. The prize, considered among the most prestigious in the scientific community, recognizes Schreiber for his work in chemical biology and for the use of small molecules as probes to uncover novel cellular mechanisms at the root of human health and disease.
