World Cancer Day AMA - Feb 4th
**To highlight the World Cancer Day (4th of February) we're having an AMA!**
Elsa, a registered nurse from the Swedish Cancer Society’s Cancer Line, and Sukrit from Folding@Home are here to answer your questions about cancer.
You can ask **either of them** anything related to cancer.
Elsa can answer general questions such as cancer types, hereditary risk, symptoms, or how to support someone close to you who has received a diagnosis.
Sukrit is a postdoctoral research fellow at MSKCC, where the Chodera Lab is a member of the Folding@Home Consortium. He uses Folding@Home and wet lab automation to study how clinically occurring variants in cancer proteins can cause drug resistance. Ask him about how Folding@Home is advancing cancer research, basic research and therapeutic design
**About The Swedish Cancer Society**
We are the largest charity in Sweden and since the start in 1951 we have helped to push the cancer survival rates in Sweden from 30 percent to 70 percent. We are an independent, non-profit organization without governmental support. Our work relies entirely on donations from individuals and businesses and together we have contributed with over EUR 1,2 billion to cancer research.
**About Folding@Home**
Folding@home is one of the world’s largest distributed computing projects, harnessing the collective power of millions of computers to advance biomedical research. Since its launch in 2000, the project has enabled researchers to study protein folding and molecular dynamics at a scale previously impossible. Folding@home is a non-profit research initiative supported by academic institutions and volunteers around the world. By donating unused computing power, individuals and organizations together help accelerate research into cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases, and other major health challenges.
Last year we started working on something together. Thank you for all the name suggestions to our campaign - **Cancer 404**. We'll be back with more information!
