“I always considered myself super healthy. When you check the box, it was, ‘My health is awesome.’”
Courtney Nelson began having digestive issues at age 38. She assumed all was fine since she was young, ate healthy, exercised frequently and didn’t have anything troubling in her family history. When the pain increased, she wound up in the MUSC emergency room, where doctors discovered a tumor and diagnosed her with stage-2 colon cancer. With treatments now complete, Nelson is on a mission to increase awareness.

New technology makes complex bioinformatics easy to visualize
Carsten Krieg, Ph.D., works each day with “very new and nerdy technology” to take pictures of a person’s immune system. This technology helps determine what makes immunotherapy treatments successful and which cancer patients are most likely to have a positive response. Using a mass cytometry machine that can heat plasma up to more than 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, scientists are able to take something large and complex and make it easy to visualize.
