SUMMARY:Discovery Series\, Dr. Cyrus Ghjar\, Professor\, Fred Hutch
DESCRIPTION:What if cancer didn’t strike in one dramatic moment—but instead lingered\, quietly\, for years? Long after a tumor seems gone\, cancer cells can lie dormant. And sometimes\, they return. This is the mystery of metastatic relapse—and the frontier where Dr. Cyrus Ghajar works. \n​At Fred Hutch Cancer Center\, Ghajar leads research into how dormant cancer cells evade treatment and what reactivates them. His lab bridges oncology\, immunology\, and bioengineering to explore the role of the immune system in suppressing dormant cancer cells. It’s a delicate numbers game that can tip the balance between remission and recurrence. \n​Supported by the National Institutes of Health\, the Kuni Foundation\, U.S. Department of Defense and other funders\, Ghajar holds the Peter S. Lefkarites Memorial Endowed Chair. Ghajar’s work is reshaping how we think about metastasis—not as a sudden invasion\, but a slow\, stealthy process that might be intercepted. Join us to explore how silence in the body might hold the key to preventing relapse.

SUMMARY:2026 Computational Cell Types Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this hackathon-style workshop\, attendees will be introduced to single cell- and spatial transcriptomic datasets from the Allen Institute and their collaborators\, while working in teams to use these datasets for data analysis\, tool creation\, model development\, and more.\n\nWorkshop highlights\nLearn how to leverage the power of cell types in your research with these featured events: \n– Learn about single cell- and spatial transcriptomic datasets \n– Form collaborations with others to ideate\, develop tools or models\, and solve problems \n– Receive guidance on projects from Allen Institute scientists \n– Visit Allen Institute and learn about the laboratory techniques behind the datasets \n– Provide user feedback to Allen Institute scientists about existing tools and documentation \nAs part of the application process\, applicants will be asked to propose an idea involving these datasets for the workshop. Attendees can choose to work with any single dataset\, with multiple datasets\, or can choose to connect one of these datasets to an externally existing dataset (not part of this ABC Atlas collection) as part of their project. \nOnce at the workshop\, groups will work on a singular project— these group projects can be one of the proposed projects\, a combination of proposed projects\, or something completely new. Projects can range from data analysis\, to model and/or tool development\, or to something else entirely. The goals of this workshop are to foster collaboration and creativity among the participants. \nAfter the conclusion of the workshop\, participants are encouraged to feel free to continue working on their projects with their group members and write-up their results however they feel appropriate. In addition\, some of the Allen scientists from the workshop can continue to provide as needed guidance on projects. \nWorkshop Details\nWorkshop Dates: May 11-14th\, 2026. \nCost: We will provide up to $1750 in travel & accommodation support for accepted participants. There is no application fee. Food will be provided during the workshop. \nAll applications will be notified of the decision on their application by March 6\, 2026. \nThis workshop was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number U24NS133077.

SUMMARY:Dr. E. Donnall Thomas Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Dr. E. Donnall Thomas and his colleagues discovered a way to treat advanced leukemia by eradicating malignant white blood cells in the bone marrow using high doses of chemotherapy and radiation\, and then replacing them with healthy donor cells. This revolutionary approach was the first definitive and reproducible example of the human immune system’s potential to eliminate cancer\, and it earned Thomas a Nobel Prize in 1990. Today\, cell-based therapies have become a standard of care for many patients with cancer and other diseases. \nRegistration for this event will open in July 2026.
