Innovation: Dr. Anu Gaba

With one in eight U.S. women diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, the odds are high that at some point most students’ lives are impacted by this disease. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Texas Instruments (TI) and Sanford Health have introduced a new “STEM Behind Health” activity called “Breast Cancer: When Good DNA Goes Bad” to help students better understand breast cancer and explore the math and science concepts that are helping to find a cure.?? In the activity, Dr. Anu Gaba, a Sanford physician, introduces precision oncology, cancer treatment through personalized genetic analysis, an upcoming research project at Sanford Research.
