Keep God Weird

Dr. Shrikant Anant told the Wagoner Lions Baseball Club that one of the grounds he started researching malignant neoplastic disease was because his uncle had died from colon cancer. Anant said he also lost a grandfather to dwell cancer. Anant labeled colon malignant neoplastic disease a large killer. He also said Sooner State have a hazard of people who are afflicted with pancreatic cancer. "We have got a passionateness to calculate out how to heal cancer. We've learned a batch about colon cancer, but we still don't have got a remedy for it," he said. Anant explained that typically Native Americans don't acquire malignant neoplastic disease because of their diet. He said they don't eat beef, and they eat nutrients rich in spices. Anant was the invitee talker at the Lions Baseball Club meeting on June 25. Anant was accompanied by a colleague, Dr. Satish Ramalingam, and a alumnus student, William Berry. Through their research, Anant explained they've been able to place two types of protein. One is a protein which maintains malignant neoplastic diseases from occurring in normal cells. This is referred to as CUGBP2. They have got also discovered a malignant neoplastic disease causing protein referred to as RBM3 which is expressed in low degrees in cells. When the look increases, the cell goes a malignant neoplastic disease cell. Anant said the lone manner to forestall colon malignant neoplastic disease is through a colonoscopy, which can be expensive, and not everyone can afford that. When many people demo symptoms of cancer, such as as pancreatic cancer, it's too late. Anant and his co-workers talked about the positive facets of stem-cell research, which have received considerable attending over the last few years. Berry said that technically, there is no manner to clone a human being. Anant concurred. "It's a joke," Anant commented about human cloning. He said malignant neoplastic disease have root cells, and that is it a good move to increase root cell research. Anant said many medical research workers don't have much money from the federal authorities to make their research. Berry explained that lone 10 percentage of the research groupings who submit grants to the National Institute of Health have funding. Anant said that of the $250,000 grant a grouping may receive, only about 70 percentage is actually given to a research group, and 80 percentage of that is used to pay for the scientists' salaries. Research squads can only submit proposals once a year. Anant said they make have some support from the American Cancer Society. He also said most of the finances travel to research groupings in Golden State and on the east coast. "We make demand more money. We make demand more people," Anant said. Lions Baseball Club member Jim Marsh asked that if a remedy for a malignant neoplastic disease was discovered, would Anant's research squad sell it to a drug company. Anant responded that they would reach a law house to submit a patent of invention to licence the drug and set up a company. He said many drugs don't do it to the consumers because of the economic science involved. "We do not acquire into the concern to make money. We are in the concern to help," he said. Anant is an associate professor and the manager of gastroenterology research at the University of Sooner State Health Sciences Center in Sooner State City. He is also the programme leader in the Sooner State University Cancer Institute. Anant received his Bachelor of Science grade in Zoology with a minor in Plant Biology and Chemistry from the University of Tamil Nadu and Ignatius Of Loyola College of Tamil Nadu in India. He have two Edgar Lee Masters Degrees, one in Checkup Microbiology from the University of Madras, and the other in Microbiology from Wolverine State State University. Anant received his Doctor of Doctrine in Molecular Genetics from the University of Illinois. Prior to coming to Oklahoma, Anant was a professor at American Capital University School of Medicine in St. Louis. He also did some research, and was an teacher at the University of Chicago.
