OHSU Casey Eye Institute ophthalmologist and researcher David Huang, M.D., Ph.D., receives the 2023 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Award for co-inventing the medical imaging technology optical coherence tomography, or OCT, which helps prevent blindness by being widely used to diagnose and manage vision-threatening eye diseases. OCT can see microscopic details in the retina, light-sensing tissue inside the eye, which Huang notes is “not much thicker than a strand of hair, but it has 10 internal layers.”

Cancer Today publishes a Q&A with science writer Jessica Hapner, who wrote a book about the scientific discoveries that transformed outcomes for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. She says: “It’s not my story. I just wrote about the discovery. If the book offers people strength, that’s because of Brian Druker and because of the patients and the drug developer. That’s very clear to me.”
