- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Just like in life, there are no turn-by-turn directions when it comes to cancer research. Tyler Jacks shares the lessons he’s learned, and what they mean for all of us.
Dr. Tyler Jacks, Ph.D. is the Director of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and a Daniel K. Ludwig Scholar. Over the course of his career at MIT, Dr. Jacks has pioneered the use of gene targeting technology to study cancer-associated genes and to construct models of many human cancer types, including cancers of the lung, brain, and ovary. His laboratory has made seminal contributions to the understanding of the effects of mutations of several common cancer-associated genes. This research has led to novel insights into tumor development, normal development, and other cellular processes, as well as new strategies for cancer detection and treatment.
Dr. Jacks has published more than 200 scientific papers and has served on the Board of Scientific Advisors of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is currently Chair of the National Cancer Advisory Board. He serves as an advisor to several biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Amgen and Thermo Fisher Scientific. In recognition of his contributions to cancer research. Dr. Jacks was elected to both the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies in 2009 as well as the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2012 and the inaugural class of Fellows of the American Association of Cancer Research Academy in 2013.

never give up. everything has a beginning and an end.
Most impressive. I will pass this on.
Keep it up, motivated
Thank you!
Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Research scientists don't get enough appreciation or support.
I have listened to Dr. Jacks' lectures on MIT OpenCourseWare. I can really feel his passion about the topic.
I'm literally impressed by this absolutely brilliant lecture.
watch dr. Burzynski (the cure for cancer cover-up)

I'm going for Gerson therapy for my cancer !!!!!!! Stander of care doesn't work much
Michelle Proctor where can you get the Gerson therapy? Is your treatment started? I have been recently being diagnosed cancer stages. Not sure if I have time to try the Gerson. Doctors says I must start Chemo as soon as possible.
@@fenlong4087 how are you doing?
Hello Michelle, how are you doing now? Does Gerson therapy work for you?
@@farjanakhan4788 yes it helped..... for one to build my immune system and I made RSO oil by Rick Simpson ‘ we found on TH-cam and I went to Tijuana Mexico for alternative therapy at chips a hospital & they are amazing & you can find some video’s on TH-cam for them and a phone number you’ll get a call from them right away. I hope this helps 🙏🏻blessings
@@tanyawieczorek7943 i’m doing great thank you 😊
Im so over this "we're right on the cusp of the cure...." they know the cure... they have several cures... both chemically and naturally.... why are they doing this? This hurts so bad and is so frustrating.
beba micou I know !
watch dr. Burzynski (the cure for cancer cover-up)
We must stop give up
Problem is health and major industries dont have health mutually inclusive
Industry spends a lot and makes a lot, based on standard treatments. No emphasis on terrain theory or immune system in general, they act as if carcinogens (current treatments) is what heals. Only the body can heal, but they don’t even address the immune system, except maybe in recurrence. It needs to be the first treatment, at the very least.

joao martins hi - what was that ??? Thx
Invite Oncologist Dr. Rob Rutledge or, Dr. Jim Roach.
What wisdom do they have to share? Serious question.
As someone who has been diagnosed with cancer-your talk annoys me! You cannot talk about this disease as if you know what we go through-rather just talk about your research please!! You have no idea what we actually go through every day-you’re insulting!!!!
Sassy Girl Love - as a fellow cancer sufferer I can relate as I also clicked thinking he was a 34 year cancer survivor - but no, he's not insulting. He is giving a good overview of the difficulties faced by researchers, which research may not help us but will help cancer patients in the future.
I am baffled, you are a director of a renowned cancer institute, you are 34 years fighting cancer, you published 200 papers, you have 10 minutes to talk about it and you can only come up with this poetic nonsense that just stole my time.... I know nothing more than just before your talk. As a head of I don't know what, you just greatly dissappointed me. Best thing of your talk was the idea of becoming a laywer. Too bad you did not do that.
Erick Veldhuis hi Erick- perfectly put! Thx
Cannabis oil..
TH-cam; The beautiful truth and run from the cure
Are you talking about chemo and radiation?
He’s calling a death one step backward!
Instead of complicated research why not educate yourself on Gerson therapy
What is it?
But can he beat Goku?
Come to the point .BETTER to join Hollywood
The shaking hands are distracting and making me nervous.
.. but my oncologist told me my cancer is incurable.
They can only offer "palliative radiation therapy for relief of pain etc., it won't aim to cure the cancer.
