Innovators Network Lab Crawl | Beyond 50

Join Innovators Network for a unique peek behind the scenes at Fred Hutch. Explore our leading-edge labs and learn how precision approaches to risk reduction and prevention are revolutionizing cancer care. Plus, dive into an extraordinary new research effort to solve the mysteries of cancer metastasis.

On your tour, you'll get to chat with researchers about the topics below. And you'll learn what's ahead — in this anniversary year and beyond — as we build on 50 years of discoveries at Fred Hutch.

A new program to demystify metastatic tumors
The Center for Metastasis Research eXcellence (MET-X) focuses on a cryptic and challenging area of cancer biology: metastasis. Learn how this highly impactful team uses technological innovations and a deeper understanding of human biology to unravel the mechanisms behind the spread of cancer, informing precision monitoring and prevention and bringing us closer to overcoming metastatic cancers.

Reducing risk: What you eat and how you move
How is your lifestyle impacting your personal cancer risks? In 2019, an estimated 40% of all new cancer diagnoses in the United States were attributable to modifiable risk factors, including diet and exercise. Get your steps in exploring Fred Hutch's Exercise Research Center and Human Nutrition Lab, two highly specialized spaces that are uncovering the far-reaching impact of diet and exercise on your health risks.

Biomarking the spot: Uncovering the early signs of cancer
Imagine a future where cancer is detected early — perhaps even before it shows symptoms. That future could be closer than you think, thanks to groundbreaking research in biomarkers, tell-tale signs associated with disease. Meet with researchers studying these biological indicators and what they could reveal about your health.
