Jonathan Chen and Waihay Wong, both assistant professors of Pathology, have been awarded the ASCI's 2025 Young Physician-Scientist Award, recognizing their significant contributions to research early in their faculty careers. Wong investigates genetic mutations linked to clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), aiming to develop novel therapies for blood cancers. Meanwhile, Chen studies anti-tumor immune responses, having identified 'immunity hubs' in various cancers that may indicate how patients respond to immunotherapy. Their efforts contribute to Northwestern's reputation as a leading biomedical research institution.
Wong's research focuses on genetic changes driving clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and aims to uncover new therapeutic strategies for blood cancers.
Chen's research examines anti-tumor immune responses, discovering 'immunity hubs' in cancers, which could predict patient responses to immunotherapy.
