Chinmay Jani, Chief Fellow at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared on X:
“Extremely grateful and honored to receive the Binaytara 2026 Impact Pitch Lung Cancer Research Award!
This support will advance our NSCLC IIT exploring gut microbiome modulation with #immunotherapy and establish a longitudinal multi-omic biobank.
Sincere thanks to Binay Shah, the Brooklyn Lung Cancer Conference team (Joshua Sabari, Dr. Veluswamy, NYU Langone Health), the Impact Pitch judges (Corey Langer, Vamsi Velcheti, Shirish Gadgeel and Dr. Cascone) and my mentors (Gilberto Lopes, Dionysios (Dennis) Watson, Estela Rodriguez, CRANE Lab) for believing in and supporting this research.
The trial was developed through the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer Clinical Trial Workshop, with its multi-omic framework refined at the AACR IME Workshop.”
